If you zoom in on that you can just make out some AT-ATs closing in on the Rebel base...

First images (greyscale nav-cams) are up. Who would have guessed that 2007 VN84 has cameras and can transmit them? What a cool asteroid! -------------------- |

Looks like they forgot to link to full-res images.
I wonder if they took a RGB set of the night lights. Probably not, but it would be very cool to see the actual color of the lights as well as the crescent limb. -------------------- |

I think they learnt the lesson after the Mars flyby - From me wandering around ESOC going "Any Wifi? I want to blog for the enthusiasts!" to this brilliant inside story in near real time. Much credit to the guys in Darmstadt!

The blog idea is commendable, I was actually surprised when I first learned they were going to do it. I hope they continue this practice in the future as well.
EDIT: Higher resolution OSIRIS image versions are here. Guess what my next wallpaper is... -------------------- |
