[meteorite-list] Impressive Viewer Interactive HD Curiosity Camera.

[Mal Bishop]

Hi Count,

That is most impressive ...and much fun as well to pan left, right in 
360 as well as 180 up and down.  Do you have a link back to JPL/NASA on 
the particulars of the imaging -- in other words, how it was actually 
pieced together, etc.
I find it very interesting how you can see the shadow of the mast on the 
ground, but when you pan around on Curiosity itself there is no sign of 
the extended mast, nor even a sign of a point of origin from which the 
photos were taken.
It is as if the point of origin for the photos were taken out away from 
the MSL -- a virtual point of origin I guess you could say? My simple 
mind would be very much interested in how this was constructed in the 
manner in which it was
so excellently conceived and carried out.  Maybe I'm really 
out-to-lunch, but I just see no signs of the mast, not even the base of 
it where it attaches to the rover.  You can look straight down to where 
the mast should be and there is no sign
of it -- just completely edited out.  Something else, the crater floor 
is amazingly smooth, and boulder free just like you would expect from an 
impact result flattening the area inside (except for the central peak 
--rebound effect ) of an impact crater with
all of the debris (large rocks, boulders, and dirt/soil that was 
excavated during impact ) to have been deposited out beyond the the 
crater floor at the crater rim and many miles beyond.

Most wondrous!!!

Thanks!

Mal
