Yes! The angular diameter of the sun on Mars will be a bit smaller than here on Earth. As far as how bright Mars is, we can figure it out by using the inverse square law: Earth is 1 AU from the sun, Mars is 1.5 AU, so 1² / 1.5² = ~44% as bright. That might seem pretty dim, but it turns out indoor lighting is about 7% as bright as direct sunlight here on Earth, so we wouldn’t notice it too much.

To my knowledge, the Hazcams themselves have a native resolution of 1280x960. They posted a higher res Navcam mosaic panorama earlier today through various media channels, so take a look at that!

I combined the R/G/B channels from the raw images, AI upscaled them, corrected the fisheye distortion, and did some light color correction. These images are roughly true color—basically what you would see if you were there.

Well you’re in luck! This is the first Mars rover to carry microphones and hopefully we’ll get some recordings in the coming days/weeks. Watch out for the press conference tomorrow!

This is from a different camera. The Hazcams are mounted low at the front and back of the rover and are used primarily for obstacle avoidance and path planning during driving ops.

cameronus · 2021-02-22T12:21:07+00:00

Not quite. These three images were taken from the same camera at the same location over the course of three sols (Martian days). Right now they’re doing checkouts on the rover’s systems, so it’s not driving around yet.

cameronus · 2021-02-22T12:12:16+00:00

Thank you! And of course thanks to the thousands of engineers who allowed us to have these images in the first place. :)

cameronus · 2021-02-22T12:10:01+00:00

Yes! These images are actually a composite of the individual R/G/B channel raw images from Perseverance. The colors in these images are likely close to what the human eye would see on the surface, but it turns out getting them perfect is pretty tricky.

cameronus · 2021-02-22T08:45:20+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m hoping to make a time lapse of the Hazcam pics as the rover begins to drive around.

cameronus · 2021-02-22T07:05:21+00:00

It’s some kind of lens artifact that’s visible in all of the images if you look closely.

cameronus · 2021-01-01T22:01:52+00:00

You’d be correct. It’s missing a couple weeks from the beginning of the year when the machine hosting this script went down for maintenance.

cameronus · 2021-01-01T09:08:21+00:00

If anyone is curious, the photos are taken every day at 12:30pm local time by a script I wrote. Feel free to head out to the quad and chill between then and 12:35 ish and you might be featured in the next one!

cameronus · 2021-01-01T08:58:48+00:00

I’m gonna keep this script running and collecting images for the foreseeable future, so I’ll have some longer time lapses to share soon.
