QUOTE (Stu @ Nov 12 2009, 09:40 AM)  Huh, is it stretched oddly maybe? I put it on my desktop and the crescent looks like a saggy Halloween pumpkin. (stunning photo and I covet) |

It's not stretched - buy your computer might be stretching it to fit your desktop.

You know, it's very easy to make jokes about ESA's data release, outreach and P.R. abilities; period.

Fair is fair, someone at ESA is doing a nice job getting these looking good and released in a timely way.
I can see my town on that nightside view... should have opened up a telescope and returned the favor, had I not gotten up at 0330 and driven to Atlanta and back. Maybe I can catch an image tonight if the sun angle isn't too bad. |

Really nice images, and I agree with NGC: Kudos to ESA for the timely release.
Can hardly wait to see the pics from 67P/Gerasimov; the terrific quality of these images is making me drool in anticipation! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Yeah. .. I'm buried under that big swirl of clouds that was Ex-Tropical Storm Ida.
(4.5 inches of rain in 4 days of yuck.) Good-bye Rosetta and Good Luck! (Good riddance Ida and don't come back!) -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

And dig this: "In the camera field of view, Lutetia shoudl [sic] appear about as large as the Earth looks in these images." And we only have to wait until July!

QUOTE (Paolo @ Nov 11 2009, 06:09 PM) Note in particular the 24-hour "movie" of the approaching Earth (please ESA don't mess up and release it!) movie now available ADMIN - direct embedded image like removed. Link to ESA article added - http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM8KIHVY1G_index_0.html -------------------- I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.
