[edit]Yes, NASA Is Hiding Pics From Mars!, page 1

We all know that there are many images of the sundial, and it is used to calibrate the camera.

But why does NASA have to do a high quality cut-n-paste job and FAKE images that are used to "prove" the color of the surface on their press page?







That is not where the edge of the rover is.






They even cut around the upright on the sundial. Very convincing work.

Real pros....

Why are these fake images on the press page if it is not NASA's intent to deceive?

i'm not sure what your trying say, but maybe this will interest you.

marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov...

Where is the edge of the rover in relation to the sundial in this image?

The mistake I made in my inital evaluation was that the second set of pics shows the lander itself. The edge is as it should be as shown here.



But notice the shadow of the sundial.



After looking thoough all of the Panacam images I do not see one that matches what is used in the press image.

They are from Sol 16:

marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov...


But only the L7 is there.

How did they make the color image if they only have L7?

on this image is says (Gusev, Sol2)



But the Sol2 pics are from when it was still on the pad:

marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov...

This is the first part of the associated press release for this image:

These are the first images sent back from the panoramic camera on the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit since the rover experienced communications problems on the 18th sol, or martian day, of its mission. They were acquired at Gusev Crater, Mars, on Sol 26 (Jan. 29, 2004), showing that the camera's health remained excellent during Spirit's recovery. Two of Spirit's potential target rocks, which are near the rock called Adirondack, can be seen on the lower left and right. The rock on the left has been named "Cake," and the white rock on the right has been named "Blanco."

Where is Sol 26 for the panoramic camera?

NASA says:

Actual data from Mars Exploration Rover Spirit´s panoramic camera is mapped on top of these lines as dots. The plot demonstrates that the observed colors of Mars match the colors of the chips, and thus approximate the red planet´s true colors. This finding is further corroborated by the picture taken on Mars of the calibration target, which shows the colored chips as they would appear on Earth.

But it cannot be. The data is not there to create this image.

Or this one either:

There is no Sol 26, and there is no match with any of the published images.

These images from the press page could not have come from any images published for Spirt.

Sol 33: No image of sundial

Sol 30: No image of sundial

Sol 29: No image of sundial

Sol 16: Only two images that are not correct filters for color, and shadow is in wrong position.

Sol 15: No image of sundial

Sol 14: Lander in frame above sundial, not the ground

Sol 13: No image of sundial

Sol 12: No image of sundial

Sol 11: No image of sundial

Sol 10: No image of sundial

Sol 9: No image of sundial

Sol 8: No image of sundial

Sol 7: No image of sundial

Sol 6: First two images from R2 and R7 filters cannot create color, rocks are different. All other sundial images shadow is too long.

Sol 5: Lander in image above sundial. Rover on pad.

Sol 4: Rover on pad

Sol 3: Rover on pad

Sol 2: Rover on pad

Sol 1: No image of sundial




NASA has failed to provide the raw data for both of the press page images that they are using to prove the color of Mars.
