Thanks for the new wallpaper!

Question re the bright spot on the side of the scoop: is paint being scraped off?

Seems a bit too uniform to be a scratch, looks more related to the construction.

Although, now that you mention it, they could stand out a little at the side and could be getting polished a bit. But I'd doubt they are random scratches.

Sure wish Phoenix had a relative humidity sensor (ideally at the end of the arm!), but I can't even imagine how to build one for Martian conditions.


So what's wrong with TECP's relative humidity sensor? wink.gif

Interesting. Have measurements been taken yet? It would be nice to have RH included in the daily weather reports.

"...we can calculate the absolute humidity, and thereby determine the RH of the ambient atmosphere as accurately as its temperature (Ta) can be measured." http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/polar2006/pdf/8080.pdf

I have read that Mars' nighttime atmosphere is almost always at or near 100% relative humidity, not because there's very much water vapor but because the thin, cold air can only hold a tiny amount of water vapor.

Since the polar regions are always cold, I'd guess that the RH at the Phoenix site is somewhat on the high side, pretty much all of the time. I'll be interested to see what the TECP shows.

I had another go at the sol 16 part of The Peter Pan and added the sol 17 bit as well.



As a bonus there is also a small version of all the sections of The Peter Pan taken so far in the correct relative positions.

Scientifically More is Better of course, but I actually think the first mosaic - without the sol 17 bit - is much stronger in its composition!

Keep going at it, this is just wonderful: seeing the whole panorama opening up in glorious colour... smile.gif

I agree, and I have to admit my favourite version so far is Astro0's in post 131.

I agree that the composition of just sol 16 is better, in fact I was away creating a cropped version as you posted. smile.gif

Sorry all, just realised that I uploaded the wrong versions before, all fixed now. So if you were keen and went in the last hour then you might want to go again. rolleyes.gif

James, just fabulous smile.gif

I suggest you "fix" the arm where it enters the image and there's a little bad overlap between the mosaics. It will detract nothing from the veracity of the image, and will be a good deal more pleasing to look at. Very minor point of course.

I made a little animated GIF of them focusing the RAC. Looks like there is some dirt on the lens.
