Rosetta delivers Phobos transit animation and 'sees' Mars in stereo
 
27 February 2007

Download:
  HI-RES AVI (Size: 25 kb)
The animated sequence shows the shadow of Phobos transiting Mars' disk on 24 February; the sequence was captured around 22:08 CET, a few hours prior to Rosetta's successful Mars swingby on 25 February.

The movie was produced by combining a series of separate images. The background of Mars changes slightly from image to image since the individual images were acquired using different colour filters.

Mars 3D anaglyph (colour)
Download:
  HI-RES JPEG (Size: 331 kb)
At closest approach at 03:15 CET on 25 February, Rosetta passed over the planet's surface at a relative speed of 36 191 km/hour. At the same time, Mars was rotating and thus by processing and combining images acquired by OSIRIS at different times, it has been possible to produce a stereoscopic image, or anaglyph.

The image was produced by combining several views of Mars taken from slightly different angles. In this case, the anaglyph was generated using images acquired 6 minutes apart. To see the 3D effect, use a pair of left-eye red, right-eye blue colour glasses.
