I guess the news belongs to the Mars forum as well, but since I'm more of a Huygens guy myself, I figured this is a better place:

Has there been any mention of which direction Huygens was facing when it landed?

*

Yes. From the DISR team's paper: "the last upward-looking spectra indicate that the probe settled with DISR facing southward."

Hi all. I made some work on the new released image mosaic from the soil...
In particular, I further extended the lower portion image, taken by the Medium Resolution Imager (MRI) and now showing the region overesposed by illuminator:
Attached Image

Then, as usual, I made a vertical projection (assuming an camera height of about 35cm above the soil); it is showed with 2 different scales
Attached Image

Considerind these view are toward South, they should be put upsidedown in order to eventually match descent mosaics... any volunteer interested to identify features?
Emily, maybe these two images can be usefull for your website... rolleyes.gif
