Image Fest #5
Thursday, April 10th, 2008Here are 67 RGB images from orbits 1700 – 1800. It’s a diverse collection of incredible images, making it difficult to pick a favorite. As always, click anywhere in the image to launch the JP2 and zoom in.
PSP_001764_1880 (Zunil Crater rim) stands out to me, since I used it early on when putting together our color processing pipeline. It looked absolutely grey, so I figured I had made a mistake. Then I saw that gorgeous swath of blue on the crater rim, where it looks like a small landslide has exposed fresher material, and I knew everything was starting to work properly.
But a short list of the must-see-RGB would have to include these:
There are two nice isolated gullies: PSP_001712_1405 & PSP_001714_2390.
PSP_001720_1730 is missing one-half of the RGB color, due I think to IR channels that weren’t received. A recent update to our color processing will allow to go ahead and automatically produce the RGB product in cases like this.
The transition between dunes and an extremely steep scarp in PSP_001728_1995 is quite striking (see below, zoomed out 4x).
How about the Boulder race in PSP_001730_1740?
PSP_001732_2595 shows an interesting type of patterned ground, where boulders have shifted into a regular series of repeating lines.
PSP_001782_1195 is giving me trouble, some browsers won’t display it here; it is a bin-4 37500-line image.
