English: PIA16453: Panoramic View From 'Rocknest' Position of Curiosity Mars Rover - RAW image version
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16453 Figure 1 is a raw-color version, showing what the scene looks like on Mars to the camera. This panorama is a mosaic of images taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on the NASA Mars rover Curiosity while the rover was working at a site called "Rocknest" in October and November 2012. The center of the scene, looking eastward from Rocknest, includes the Point Lake area. After the component images for this scene were taken, Curiosity drove 83 feet (25.3 meters) on Nov. 18 from Rocknest to Point Lake. From Point Lake, the Mastcam is taking images for another detailed panoramic view of the area further east to help researchers identify candidate targets for the rover's first drilling into a rock. The image has been white-balanced to show what the rocks and soils in it would look like if they were on Earth. Figure 1 is a raw-color version, showing what the scene looks like on Mars to the camera. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the rover. More information about Curiosity is online at http://www.nasa.gov/msl and http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/.Русский: Панорама печаных дюн Рокнест на Марсе, составленная из почти 900 изображений Mast Camera (Mastcam) и других камер марсохода Curiosity с 5 октября по 16 ноября 2012 года. Можно видеть, что на разных снимках, соответствующих разным участкам, различаются условия освещённости (в зависимости от времени суток) и прозрачность атмосферы (в зависимости от содержания пыли).
Цвета на этом изображении переданы в оригинальном виде, как они были запечатлены камерой. При земном освещении поверхность воспринималась бы человеческим глазом так. |
