Like a lot of people, the new HiRise imagery has had me scrambling to learn about JPEG2000 (jp2) files, and trying to find software and plugins for manipulating and editing them. A lot of that discussion has been taking place in the MRO 2005 topic. We now have two MRO passes providing amazing stereo over much of Opportunity's trek, and it sounds as if we will soon have some Spirit coverage. I can hardly wait for that.
 Anyway, I'm starting this thread for anyone wanting to post new HiRise imagery of places Opportunity has explored in the past. I'll start it with an anaglyph. Even though Meridiani is pretty flat, the MRO images were so fine that I really wanted to see how much detail I could get from them. Spectacular Victoria has already been nicely done, so I had to look elsewhere. I thought Beagle Crater and the transition to Victoria's annulus would be of interest to some people. I'll post this as a jpg that fits the forum size limit, but should we sometimes use the better jp2 format even though all users may not be prepared to view them?

QUOTE (djellison @ Dec 4 2006, 03:56 PM)  Bouncey bouncey.... Look at the third bounce in that image. It catches the edge of a very small crater which then deflects the direction of motion off to the left a bit..just enough to put her down in Eagle. In makes me think that if that first bounce had been just a half meter farther south, it would have missed that little crater and bounced on up to the northeast of Eagle Crater, missing it entirely. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Did you notice the 2 whitish spots close to Eagle? I've tried to find Bounce Rock assuming it was 28 m from the center of Eagle. Frankly I have other candidates but this is an attempt to locate it. May be easier in the raw image. In the absolute, as we've seen Adirondack, BR may be visible too.
QUOTE (djellison @ Dec 5 2006, 06:22 PM) I've looked for bounces at Gusev....no luck ( maybe the first, but none after that ) As I said in Spirit topic, the albedo difference in Sleeping Hollow was quite big seen from Spirit position just after landing. Strange we see nothing there. What would be interesting too, would be to try to match the DD path of known DD with MRO picture. -------------------- |
