Weather Friday and Saturday nights
The models are showing a weather system moving in Friday night. It looks like Castle Dale will be clear until about midnight, then it starts to deteriorate. St. George looks like it will be better longer. Saturday it will be cloudy state wide and it doesnt look like it will be gone by nightfall. I will get a last minute update tomorrow about this time.

Joe I didn't think to ask. I won't be able to get that information until tomorrow now. Sorry Jim Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote: Jim, how's Thursday night for Castle Dale?

You see, Joe, Jim has explained to me that they lock-up the tea leaves, entrails & Tarot cards every day after the forecast is read as part of Homeland Security procedures. That only leaves any bones that may have been cast but not yet collected, and everyone knows that the bones are only good for long-range, general forecasts. The Magic 8-Ball is currently back at the manufacturer's for upgrades. The Ouija board was abandoned in 1986 for not being cost-effective. Too many workers needed for too long. Recently, however, government analysts have been taking another look at it. By outsourcing the contract to a Pakistani company, it just might be competitive again thanks to third-world wages. So we have to wait until Kreskin comes back in the morning. ;) --- Jim Gibson <jimgibson00@yahoo.com> wrote:

Could somebody take a look at this microscopic imager view from Spirit, just posted, and tell me if you think it's just scrapes from the abrasion tool, or something more interesting -- like fossils. Thanks, Joe http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/m/099/2M135153386EFF2700P2959M2...
Joe, A very interesting photo. I printed it and turned it upside down. When you do this and think of the illumination coming from the top, the straight lines appear to be on high surfaces rather than low surfaces. This makes it more probable that they are an artifact of the rover. It sure is easy to see the tail of a fish in the right side up photo, though. Brent --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:

Joe, Upon looking at the image closely with Photoshop, you can see some parallel lines in the dark areas at the top of the erect image in the darker areas, just to the right of center. These are not aligned with the pixel orientation. Hmmmm... Brent --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:

Does anyone know where to find information on the image? I would like to know what terrain the picture is in (solid rock, soil, etc.), the scale of the image (microns, mm, meters), and lighting (natural, artificial, high/low angle, etc.). Pictures of rock/soil with no scales are difficult to interpret for processes that create structure. Without image info, it could be a photomicrograph of an rock, or a picture of a planet surface from orbit. The scale invariance of geology is always fun. :)

If you go to the rover page, the images are grouped according to the sol they were taken on, and which camera took them. You can then easily deduce the scale. . __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online by April 15th http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html
Information on the camera and the the specifications for it can be found here: http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/Projects/MER-AthenaMI/microscopic_imager.html

It's strange, but maybe these are marks left by the rock abrasion tool -- I would very much like to know more, though. Thanks for everyone's input, AJoe
That's my poor dragging left pinkie again -- I meant to wrote Joe, not AJoe!
