Now *that* is a photoblog. Chronologically indexed gallery of interplanetary snapshots from this weekend's Mars landing. The first images sent back are of limited quality -- and only in black and white -- because data transmission rate from Spirit's antenna back to Earth is limited. Higher-res color images are expected to be relayed back from the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey Spacecraft later today, according to Mission Control. At left:

"This mosaic image taken by the navigation camera on the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has been further processed, resulting in a significantly improved 360 degree panoramic view of the rover on the surface of Mars."

Meanwhile, back on Mars


Meanwhile, back on Mars 09/07/2004 09:48 PM

I must admit I was shocked to find out today the the Mars rovers are still quietly going about their business on the red planet. They're still plugging along climbing through craters and scratching rocks. The Spirit rover has travelled over two miles since it landed. The folks at JPL are starting to sound like proud parents in their weekly status reports.

Sol 225 was truly a mega-activity sol. Spirit awoke at 11:20 a.m., Gusev local solar time and stayed awake well past the afternoon communication session with NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter without taking a nap. Spirit hasn't done that in a long time.
I have a strange feeling that if the Martian winter causes the rovers to hibernate that they'll wake up ready to go again next spring. Nice work NASA. Truly something to be proud of.

Yahoo Kidnaps High Res Photos


Yahoo Kidnaps High Res Photos 12/24/2003 02:35 PM
One thing that sites should learn is that when you want to add some sort of "paid" component to a site, doing so in a way that takes something away from users is never a good idea. You can try to charge for adding additional features - but taking away stuff is only going to anger people, especially if they signed up for some of the formerly free features. Yahoo's latest move has angered a number of people. In adjusting the terms of their online photo hosting they did one nice thing (eliminating storage limits) and one not so nice thing (saying you need to pay if you want to access any photo with a higher resolution than 480 by 360). This is especially problematic because many people had already stored such "high res" (and, no, that's not particularly high res) photos on the site which are now locked behind a pay wall. Yahoo claims that they've been warning people about the impending changes for months - but their method of warning people is pretty questionable. They put up banner ads telling users the terms of service were changing. Banner ads? Those things that almost no one looks at any more? Not the most effective way to get the word out there, and many people say they never saw the banner ad, and suddenly no longer have access to the photos they thought they were storing for free.

01/03/2004 03:22 PM
Magic may happen this evening. The USA will attempt to safely land a scientific golf cart on Mars at about 8.30pm, California time:
Two NASA (news - web sites) Mars landers -- Spirit and Opportunity -- are speeding toward "sweet spot" touch down sites at different, but scientifically attractive locations on Earth's mysterious neighbor.

The opening act in this $820 million drama to place dual robot geologists on Mars is the landing of the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) dubbed Spirit tonight at about 8:35 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST). The target: Gusev Crater -- a possible former lake in a giant impact crater on Mars. Primary among the mission's scientific goals is to search for and characterize a wide range of rocks and soils that hold clues to past water activity on Mars
