It's pretty normal for NASA/JPL to release the coolest-looking pictures as quickly as possible for PR, and then follow up with the comprehensive releases of raw data later, especially in the early stages of a mission. I don't see anything to indicate that BBC was given any kind of special treatment.
- java-man 6y agoI wish it were reverse: the raw images would appear first, followed by the processed media.
- giantrobot 6y agoThey used to do it that way and wouldn't get much uptake in the media. Newspapers/websites want big colorful high resolution photos to use as header images for articles. The tiny grayscale HazCam images are technically interesting and useful but are visually boring to non-technical viewers.
