With Spirit producing an annoyingly large amount of power given her current predicament, the time may well have come to re-open the Gusev astronomy society. Anyone have any dusk / nightime observation ideas?

I registered the 5 Venus-Earth pancam frames on Venus and then averaged them to try to cut down the jpeg noise. Here's the result:
One pale grey dot stands out above the noise, about 1.5 degrees to the lower right of Venus (at intersection of arrows). If you look very closely at the five individual frames, you can see it in each, so it's not a bright CR hit in one frame, and it's not a hot pixel, since they move relative to Venus (you can see some towards the bottom of the frame). Going out on another limb, I say that dot is Mother Earth. |
