Doesn't this movie look a lot like Alpha? There are some ring features that appear in a new light now :) By this one I think there are three evidences that it's rather surface dust than a track. The distinct one below of it and two faint specks at 75/25 and about 375/325 that come at/in the same ti...

First, for kicks, here's the old thread where we discussed the track about a year and a half ago. http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1020 As you can see, most people thought it should be a bad focus movie because it doesn't focus under the surface where the track is, I agr...

How cool! Especially to get too the high resolution pictures from level 2 photodocumentation where the keystones are extracted! The way the keystones be extracted seems to show the direction wherefrom the high angle track particles entered into the aerogel of the collector. Immediately tried to get ...

Great (finally :) ) a movie! Will the complete movie be for public and... could it even be broadcasting on NASA TV?! In the meantime NASA TV is available on the internet in full screen and TV quality (1200kbit stream and even more by using Microsoft Silverlight). <"Anna has a cool map of where ...

Yeah, it is an exciting step! Thanks to Bryan for the detailed updates. Another favorite to be the first could be http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/myevents_viewer.php?id=4938343V1 I wonder too, but don't think they are working blindly. The microscope they are using for the cutouts could be goo...

23000 ways are a bit overestimated :) In fact there is only one way to define what a track looks like. Once entered in the aerogel, any particle leaves a tube that is more or less visible in the VM in each picture of the scan that is beneath the surface - down to the particle itself (or its remains)...

We should get a better view on the scans. The new movies (JPEGs) are reduced in file size/quality too but starting from more details (magnification) than the old ones. So a tiny particle/track will be visible at more pixel in the VM (on your screen) than before - therefore more resolution too. Even ...

No problem with so much amount of space available.
I think they bought just enough fence to be the largest

Ja der ist wirklich gross - fast schon gigantisch!

One of the world's largest airports, I guess.

Does anybody know exactly which is the largest (according to amount of space)?

No doubt

At the right edge is a real surface particle "on the move".
There is probably even more visible that lies on the optical components.

What a fluke :) With these "secret" information I played a bit code cracker :wink: I'm struck it's a little more difficult to catch the focus level of the surface particles/features in that resolution. 785008V1 785014V1 785020V1 785026V1 785032V1 From this update Dr. Mendez says: "The...

They should be already uploaded days ago. Or is there a time difference (delay) between the green tiles and their appearance in the VM? Or is the scale not yet replaced?

:) You're right, most of the background shows Switzerland. While performing the pitch maneuver the Shuttle/ISS flew some time over it. The river (Rhine) behind the right/upper wing is the borderline to Germany. Btw. do you know the Rhine Falls (it is visible at the edge of the image). This published...

Just a little guessing game:

Does anybody know what region lies behind/below the Shuttle in that image (north is to the right)? You get the full resolution image (1,8MB) by clicking on. The full res is rotated 90 degrees.

Could be that I saw it when I sifted through the "I think I've found a track, what do you think?" thread, but then not considered as LAT because of its shallow and clean look (for such a long "track"). Would really like to have a look at the joining movie. In the meantime we coul...
