QUOTE (tanjent @ May 25 2008, 07:14 PM)  Need advice on how to download and save the images. Everything seems to be in Flash Player mode. Is anybody getting jpg's or some other non-proprietary format? There's a list of download options on the lower right side of the flash viewer thing. Make sure it isn't being blocked by a popup blocker. |

This terrain looks rather familiar. There's a lot of fairly (or possibly very) similar terrain here in Iceland, except that it's not that flat all the way to the horizon. I need to dig up a comparison picture.

Good grief...237 users active on the forum...is this a record?

Interesting bright feature in front of a small mound on the horizon in the right hand part of 346.jpg. A sunlit rock I suppose.

I'd go for ice.

We had 279 active users at the end of EDL which is as high as I saw it but it might have nudged up a few more. Whatever the absolute number is this is the busiest UMSF has ever been while I've been watching and Doug's new server and host have both held up to the task. |

Looks like absolutely textbook polygonal frost heave - hopefully that means the ice will be at the depth expected. My wild-eyed speculation about landing at a tilt wasn't completely hatstand, after all, I think - it looks like there's (?) 30 - 50cm vertical relief in places.
And how's about that for fast image release? ESA eat your heart out... that is how tax-funded space science outreach should be done. edit: yes, definite thruster exhaust effects; it looks like you could get down to ice by scrubbing with a stiff broom. -------------------- --

About gallery, are they expected to make a better, more easyer? Because it's not very simple to distinguish camera, filters, etc.

Yeah, most likely part of the ship cast off during EDL. or a compression artifact. It would be cool if was a piece of ice
