It's hard to get a sense of scale, one minute it's wow so high up look way down at the craters then suddenly oh! That's not a crater that's the ground. Beautif

Beautiful I didn't know they had such high quality video I figured like it seems on all the others missions data is kept to a minimum and we'd only see black and white 640x480.
- mbell 14y agoI think some of this is that the video is sped up. Best I can recall from being nerd-locked into the data coming back from MSL the decent camera only captures 5 frames a second at this resolution. This video is obviously replaying at a much higher frame rate so they are either playing it back at faster than real time or they interpolated a lot of frames, I'm guessing the former. [EDIT] And now that I stop playing the video on repeat I realize this was covered in the article and the video description...
- MetallicCloud 14y agoYep, it's captured at 5fps, and played at 15fps. So it's running at 3x.
- dhughes 14y agoAh, I missed that part, so I'm not crazy.
