Lyford, go to your room...
Seriously, since you have an image of the Columbia Hills with a scaled object it would be easy to google an image of the landmark of choice, resize it up or down and paste it onto that base image. --Bill -------------------- |

If we were to add a person to give scale to MER images....who would you want? Steve? Jim? Emily-a-la-Mars-Suit?

QUOTE (ustrax @ Dec 14 2005, 12:56 PM) I made a comparison between Spirit's traverse and the hiking I most commonly do, between my home and Monserrate gardens in the Sintra Hills (wow! it even includes a similar climbing!) and it is quite the same distance... How curious is seing things in this perspective... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/ustrax/comp.jpg  Ustrax, I agree... Gogle Earth show a 100m excursion between the two points! Maybe this view give a better idea of your promenade (you live in a beautiful place, it seems  ).

Shatner's let himself down I'm afraid - he's been appearing in a rather bad breakfast cereal advert here in the UK "One bowl......two weeks!".

Sadly I just looked at those pics again and realized that though the last two were of me, the first (full-body) one is of somebody taller squeezed into the suit...I checked back and couldn't find a full body one of me to substitute in, too bad!As for Shatner, he's doing well in the U.S. as a star on the comedy/drama Boston Legal. He is absolutely frickin hilarious. You could do a BILLion Carl Sagans diminishing into the distance...might be kinda creepy though... --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

And it is, in fact, a beautiful place, sometimes kind of 'Lord of the Rings' habitat...  http://www.fotografia-na.net/data/media/4/pena3.jpg more here: http://www.fotografia-na.net/search.php?show_result=1&page=1 and here: http://www.fotografia-na.net/search.php?show_result=1&page=2 Breathtaking place I assure you... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Ahh - you see, now Emily's going "phew- got out of that one"
http://www.marsonearth.org/interactive/mul....science.1.html http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=6548 I think, going back thru several years of Haughton expeditions, there will be lots of images one could use to give a sense of scale to a few choice panorama's - I'll see what I can do over the next few days Doug |

Great work, MaxSt and Ilbasso! Though I would be careful lest those images fall into "enemy" hands.
 In regards to Project Emily, I think this image might prove usable... aren't the ATVs about the same dimensions (roughly) as our intrepid pair? Though the the best candidates appear to have been lost in the Planetary Society's website redesign. Or are there more sinister forces at work???
