(with a droopy trunk) How about a mineralogical comparison, Hort?  P.S. I can see the spherule-packed "peanut brittle" off to the left. What's the story here? I feel we're seeing pages from an action-packed suspense thriller. Who can read it to the rest of us? -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

It will be hard to post my own version after the beautiful picture of hortonhardawho
But, I try  ... And the result of a little investigate about the opacity of the atmosphere :
We see clearly that dust quantity is rising. The jpl say that is due to a dust storm around the south pole. -------------------- |

But what about possible meteorite?
I hope, that spirit drives to near possible meteorite. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=17...3864&size=l do you can now say, is it meteorite, or know Nasa it? |

Here is a more complete version of the evolution of sky opacity from Sol 970 to Sol 1061.

I've made a ultra high contrast desatured version to put in evidence the dust evolution. At the last sol, we can view a little inversion phenomena, like during a dust storm (remember Vikings pictures...) :

Ant,
Very impressive images. The difference between sol 1041 and 1064 is particularly striking. Thanks. |

Post #183 has been updated with all the colorized 3D pairs -- and a colorized 3D panorama and a 3D color pancam context image.

Looks like we're about to enter another transit season.

QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Jan 12 2007, 04:25 AM) Looks like we're about to enter another transit season. Do you know if transit observations generaly would help assessing if the dust is still there in the atmosphere or if this "transit_tau" is just a coincidence? -------------------- |

I guess we'll find out soon but I suspect that the routines they have for getting tau from the sun images would be messed up a bit with a transit in progress. I think that observation will be of the full sun either just before or after the transit. A 'while the pancam is pointing at the sun anyway might as well slip in a tau' observation.
