Anyone here into astronomy? Ya know, setting up a telescope and star-gazing?Yeah, a bit. It's surprising how even a little 3-inch refractor can let you see Saturn's rings, Jupiter's cloud bands, and... when Mars was at its closest recently, I was barely able to make out an ice cap. Barely.
I've got a friend who works on the computer imaging from some of those Mars missions,...Does he work in Boulder, CO? Up the road from me is where some of the Mars data analysis is being done.
Does he work in Boulder, CO?No, he's in the Bay Area. There's people all over the world doing work on these projects, some in far-flung locations. Digital age, and all.
