If I had the appropriate skill, I would map out the "face" on Mars and create a 3D app that lets you look from any arbitrary vantage point, and move the sun around anywhere you want in order to emulate the different times of day, season, etc.
It would be interesting to see from that how the optical illusion works, and also dispel the lingering belief some have carried over that NASA (for whatever reason they ever would do such a thing) blew it up with nukes.
I think such an app would be quite popular for at least 15 minutes. Ample resources are available for it.
- yummypaint 7y agoI think the steamvr environments feature lets you change the time of day by dragging the sun around. There is a nice one someone made from the curiousity rover data that includes a model of the rover itself. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=928142301 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92814... Google earth vr has a similar thing. I havent seen one for the moon but it should be possible.
