I don't know if anyone's posted this yet...but it's definitely worth a re-post.
I figured they would try something like this again.  http://geekcounterpoint.net/files/category-10.html Just wait until they turn that bad boy towards Earth... [Edit: Image no longer available] -------------------- Mayor: Er, Master Betty, what is the Evil Council's plan?
Master Betty: Nyah. Haha. It is EVIL, it is so EVIL. It is a bad, bad plan, which will hurt many... people... who are good. I think it's great that it's so bad. -Kung Pow: Enter the Fist |

Well - given that photographing the Moon with Earthshine results in the normal part of the Earth being totally bleached out - I doubt it. I imagine that there's a fairly big "keep out" zone for HiRISE pointing when it comes to the Sun - and at a time when Moonshine would be most usefull, chances are they'd be in that keep out zone.

Doug That is correct. I beleive the zone is a 20 degree away from the sun keep-out zone, so it might be quite difficult. Even harder when you consider we've already taken a picture of the moon, on our way out of the Earth-moon system (Before I was a part of HiRISE...). This just happened to be a time when we had a stellar Calibration the same time as an opening to Jupiter, a lot of things that came up lucky. BTW, I don't think this picture has been officially released yet... |

BTW, I don't think this picture has been officially released yet... Apparently not -- at least, I've been told it's the case by the U of A, so I'll be taking down my page containing it. I received the image about 4th hand, without any "do not distribute" language attached. Sure wish unreleased images had a watermark or something... Lorne -------------------- Lorne Ipsum, Chief Geek

Thanks for the quick removal. It's nice to see sources that remove unreleased images before they are released. But I can tell you that likely the image will be officially released sometime soon.
The problem is the unreleased images are quickly created, and passed to the team. A few team members decide, hey I can pass this on to my friends and family, it won't matter, and then someone there forwards it on to someone who owns a major website. So... |
