Image of the Day: A Five-Year Odyssey
http://www.space.com/imageoftheday/image_of_day_060413.html NASA's Mars Odyssey continues to watch the red planet five years after arriving at its target. This archival image was taken by Mars Odyssey in December 30, 2002 during its first full year of operations at Mars. A team led by Phil Christensen, principal investigator for Odyssey's cameras at Arizona State University, Jim Bell at Cornell University, and space artist Don Davis created this panorama, adding color to radiance files from the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), a camera on Odyssey that takes images in both the visible and infrared parts of the spectrum. They also correlated the radiance - intensity of reflected sunlight - with that of other color images from Mars and minimized the effects of residual scattered light in the images. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
