I did this for the Planetary Society Blog but I'll post it here as well.
Beautiful hills through the Martian haze.

About the dirt particles in the great arm camera animation posted before, and based on the hi-res images of the trenches being opened, I was tempted to think perhaps the arm is scraping the hard substrate below the soil (being politically correct and not calling it ice just in case
 ) That would make some dirt particles to jump upwards and towards the direction the arm is scraping, and some of them could stick to the camera lens?Sort of reminds me scraping a irregular concrete surface lightly covered in powdery earth with a shovel, if you know what I mean? -------------------- --- DaViD ---

Thanks Tman, fantastic image! Sometimes black and white image is better than color. This is that case. It's is here ?

QUOTE (Tman @ Jun 13 2008, 01:01 PM) Peter Pan in full res. Lots of 'bright' splotches across the surface. Ice exposures?  Sorry, I'm taking the plunge: Not salt, not duricrust,...ice.

Salts! salty-salty salt-salts!  Don't you think that's what Tyrone would have looked like had Spirit dug into it with a scoop, rather than wheels? The "splotches" seem to me to have a definite powdery appearance. So, a prediction: TEGA will find little or no water in the sample, but some quantity of mineral salts. Given that my last prediction was a 30 or 40 degree tilt after landing, that probably means that the sample's got more ice in it than the Wilkins Ice Shelf. -------------------- --

At least he calls everything white around the lander ice. As far as distant objects go, we know that plain ol' rock can be quite bright, the Victoria Beacon being the most famous example. |
