Thanks for the new wallpaper!
Question re the bright spot on the side of the scoop: is paint being scraped off? -------------------- |

Seems a bit too uniform to be a scratch, looks more related to the construction.
Although, now that you mention it, they could stand out a little at the side and could be getting polished a bit. But I'd doubt they are random scratches. -------------------- Turn the middle side topwise....TOPWISE!!

So what's wrong with TECP's relative humidity sensor? Interesting. Have measurements been taken yet? It would be nice to have RH included in the daily weather reports. "...we can calculate the absolute humidity, and thereby determine the RH of the ambient atmosphere as accurately as its temperature (Ta) can be measured." http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/polar2006/pdf/8080.pdf |

I have read that Mars' nighttime atmosphere is almost always at or near 100% relative humidity, not because there's very much water vapor but because the thin, cold air can only hold a tiny amount of water vapor.
Since the polar regions are always cold, I'd guess that the RH at the Phoenix site is somewhat on the high side, pretty much all of the time. I'll be interested to see what the TECP shows. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

I had another go at the sol 16 part of The Peter Pan and added the sol 17 bit as well.
As a bonus there is also a small version of all the sections of The Peter Pan taken so far in the correct relative positions. James -------------------- |

Scientifically More is Better of course, but I actually think the first mosaic - without the sol 17 bit - is much stronger in its composition!
Keep going at it, this is just wonderful: seeing the whole panorama opening up in glorious colour... |

I agree that the composition of just sol 16 is better, in fact I was away creating a cropped version as you posted.

Sorry all, just realised that I uploaded the wrong versions before, all fixed now. So if you were keen and went in the last hour then you might want to go again.

James, just fabulous
I suggest you "fix" the arm where it enters the image and there's a little bad overlap between the mosaics. It will detract nothing from the veracity of the image, and will be a good deal more pleasing to look at. Very minor point of course. |
