Time for some of us to get to work!
Here's my first job with MSL images: an average of the registered L,R rear hazcam view:
What's that just left of centre on the horizon? It's in both L and R frames! Could it be the dust from the descent stage crash landing???

Admin Notice:
Just another FYI - we've temporarily disable the automatic update of the topics read icons you see when browsing\searching the forums and we've also disabled the icon that indicates whether you have psoted in a thread or not. These changes should (and appear to have) help reduce\eliminate the timeouts. Those who refresh looking for "new stuff" will notice these changes, the database will now only update once every 3 hours. This makes a dramatic difference to the ability of the board to support a large number of concurrent users so hopefully you can put up with the effects in the short term. We'll turn them all back on when things quieten down. |

I've been looking at it too as many of us I am sure... maybe it IS from the crash

Could be on the dust cover; we'll see soon enough.

It would be an extremely low probability coincidence to have the same dust patch on both covers.

What a rollercoaster of a ride down to the surface! Top performance by the MSL team!!
Emily's tweets right from the press room were next to the live stream from NASA TV - this was NEWS at its very best. I found online a complete university introduction course on Geochemistry, chapter & verse, the Full Monthy. Kept it in the waiting bin but now I'll start in earnest. Cannot wait for what is to follow! Cheers! |
