I'm bored by waiting for non-arriving new images , so I did a little (er... "little"... 3.4 MB...) new animation using old navcam images...

Oh come on Cass, how can you possibly be bored when there are so many STUNNING pictures of the sundial and the Sun coming in every day..? I mean, who wants to see sweeping, John Ford-esque martian landscape colour panoramas or close-ups of beautifully wind-etched boulders, curving dust dunes and geological details on hillsides and crater walls when you can marvel at a dozen new images revealing the subtle play of martian sunlight on a 3" high nub of plastic?
Love your work, by the way

For some strange reasons, if I overwrite an existing file in my webspace (I did it to upload an optimized version of the animation), the file becomes no more available. :rant:
I discovered it just now, but now I am at work, and the original animation file is at home, so you'll have to wait till 16:00 GMT to have the animation available again.
Sorry for the incoveneince.

I have to admit, Stu, I could probably manage with less of the sundial and more of the terrain.
Nice irony ... thanks!
By the way, I still can't fathom the lack of commentary from JPL on some of the enigmatic features we've been seeing. Even a swift, boring, down-to-Earth(Mars) explanation would at least help us to stop imagining all sorts of things! :laugh:

Shaun,
I suspect that the answer to your question about why we haven't heard from JPL regarding some of our probes' recent observations is that the obvious explanations are at odds with their accepted models.
How do they gracefully adapt to that?

Hmmm.
Yeah, Rex. I suppose if that really is a small patch of water/brine, or even ice, they'd have to re-write quite a bit of stuff about Mars. And start looking more seriously at some of the images you've drawn to our attention in the past. (And maybe let poor old Dr. Gil Levin back into the fold as well! )

The animation should be working, now.
