HiRISE – High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment Camera is a camera on board the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The 65 kg, $40 million (USD) instrument was built under the direction of the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. It consists of a 0.5 meter reflecting telescope, the largest of any deep space mission, which allows it to take pictures with resolutions up to 0.3 m, resolving objects about a meter across, or the size of a beachball. The HiRISE camera is designed to view surface features of Mars in greater detail than has previously been possible. This allows for the study of the age of Martian features, looking for landing sites for future Mars landers, and in general, seeing the Martian surface in far greater detail than has previously been done from orbit. By doing so, it is allowing better studies of Martian channels and valleys, volcanic landforms, possible former lakes and oceans, and other surface landforms as they exist on the Martian surface. • en.wikipedia.org — Doug Ellison from UnmannedSpaceflight.com has done it again and again and again. Here are new Mars flyover videos Doug has created from data from the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Using DEM (Digital Elevation Model) (also known as DTM Digital Terrain Model) files …

A quick tutorial on how to make a realistic looking planet in Vue 6 – the “built-in” planets that come with Vue are nice for far-away shots and if you want to have a planet from our own solar system. However, if you want a more realistic or creative looking planet, here is a quick way to get one. This tutorial is meant for Vue users who have a general knowlege of using Vue and is not meant to go over basic Vue screen commands. Sorry about the low quality video, but hopefully the main points are there. Please visit my website: infiniteoasis.com

ITV News Volcano erupts in south Iceland. Man takes pictures from space on digital camera. A man in West Yorkshire has managed to snap some stunning photos of the Earth from space using a compact Canon digital camera and a hot air balloon kit that cost him just £500. Robert Harrison, of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, constructed his space photography kit using off-the-shelf components that cost him around £500. He mounted a standard, four mega pixel Canon digital camera to a hot air balloon. The camera was hooked up to a small, Linux-based computer that was set to wake up the camera at set intervals and snap a picture. A GPS unit allowed Harrison to recover his camera when the balloon eventually came back to Earth. The resulting photos are so stunning, that NASA has apparently been in touch with Harrison to learn how he managed to capture such high quality images so cheaply. Several galleries of photos can be seen at Harrisons Flickr page, while his blog contains details of his various launches and the hardware used to construct his clever hot air balloon rig.

Richard Dawkins describes the 20th century as the digital century, with advances in computing and the discovery that the genetic code is digital. It was a century of great scientific discovery, yet the public understanding and appreciation of science has diminished. This has also led to an unfortunate vulnerability to pseudoscience and misinformation, as well as outright hostility to science. From a conference in 1998 called Der Digitale Planet (The Digital Planet), which also included …

astrological data from the past. One of the main themes running through many of his books is the possible global connection with a “mother culture” from which he believes all ancient historical civilizations sprang. Although his books have sold more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated into twenty-seven languages, his methods and conclusions have found little support among academics. Often criticised for being a pseudoarchaeologist, Hancock, who freely admits he has …
