wow, this is riddled with compression artifacts. maybe I should look into hosting these images somewhere else, and not directly on lemmy

*vast. Silly me, I made two mistakes

only a letter, but yeah, lol

Yeah, I got the target names for the zoomed in version from there. The last couple of sols only had names like Pico Turquino east, wich I didn’t consider necessary to add, but I’m always on the lookout for new ones, thanks!

I prefer the jpl one, as the hirise color is more useful than the low res low contrast hrsc one, and the contour lines aren’t that useful zoomed in. However, making a more zoomed out context map based on the esa one could be interesting.

Even the MSL map has more details, so I’d say that they very much can. The issue is that the interactive mapps are probably created by the PR team (as is the entire website) not the mission team itself, and that PR team doesn’t know most of the Place names and doesn’t thing that the average joe, who they make the sites for, cares enough to add them.

photoshop. I just wanted to see the names on a map, and took the easiest route to make that happen

Guess I’ll gotta check up her more often now that umsf is dying
