Comments on: The next best thing to being there http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/09/25/the-next-best-thing-to-being-there/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

It is always fun and stimulating to come across new perspectives and stunning images. Hi Phil

Don’t apologise for all the recent blogs on great images – keep them coming. It is always fun and stimulating to come across new perspectives and stunning images.

I was worried that it was a mistake I made in the panoramic assembly process. But I just checked the original pan frames, and the dot is on those too. Along with several other dots too. The dots change position from frame to frame, so my guess is that they are just random photographic anomolies in either the development process, or in the duplication of the original transparencies. Or perhaps in the scanning to digital Thanks Mike Constantine Hi Tom

I thought it may have been something I had mistakingly done during the Panoramic assembly process, but I just checked the original pan frame images, and the dot is on those too, and quite a few other dots too. http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a11/as11-40-5930HR.jpg http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a11/as11-40-5931HR.jpg As the dots are in different positions as the pan goes along my guess is they are just photographic anomolies, either in the development process, or duplication of the original transparencies or in the scanning of the transparencies to digital.

See where the shadow of the lander almost touches the horizon, on the left? It's above that area, about even horizontally with the middle of the base of the lander. Mark: Sure.
