Anyone else feel like waiting for each new batch of images is like waiting to pull a Christmas cracker? Just don't know what treats are going to be inside! (unless you're tuvas who gets a sneak peek...! wink.gif )

I know what they were, because I'm the one who looked at them and made sure they were ready to go. FYI, I think you'll see a similar number of pictures for the next few weeks, we're starting to dump all of the releasable images from Cycle 1, and as there isn't as many people around for the holidays, we decided to take this time to release images without captions, so... Call it a ChristmaHanaQuanza (In the words of our webmaster) give to everyone out there, more images than normal.

Having trouble unwrapping your Christmas gift. Servers on overload?

Not in the words of our webmaster, so...

I don't notice anything about the web servers, but I have local access, so... All I can do is suggest patience...

I've only done a cursory scan through this latest release, but I have to say that the lower part of PSP_001388_1565 ("Delta in Crater South of Parana Basin") is a good example of how HiRISE can document the distribution of small impact craters.

And I liked PSP_001368_1400 ("Gully Apron In Crater"), too biggrin.gif

EDIT: With respect to PSP_001388_1565, I should have said "the entire image is a good example..."

I think that might be carrying the HiWords to a bit of an excess...

Just thought I would quote the HiBlog about the image release:

QUOTE
Further, many of these are samples of the Northern Plains (reconnaissance for the Phoenix Mars Lander) which are very flat and featureless. To continue the X-mas gift metaphor, they are the HiRISE equivalent of tube socks.
