I'm totally confused - curiosity pix

Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:19 am » by **One-23**

Just been downloading some of the Raw curiosity pix from http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/
, Been doing the usual - right click on image save as etc.
So I opened

http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images ... 4096M_.JPG

And got this what doesn't even exist in the curiosity gallery

Same with this one
http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images ... 4096M_.JPG

And got this, again doesn't even exist in the curiosity gallery

I don't see where these pix have come from because from all my experience when you right click an image and save it to computer, only the intended image on screen is captured :headscratch:

Seems to be images from the Exploration Rover "Spirit"

Tried the right click thing, got the right pictures.
As for the two mystery pictures, probably a different camera view. Curiosity has like...eight.

Seems like a glitch, they are from the Spirit rover

What's weird is The Spirit rover became stuck in late 2009, and its last communication with Earth was sent on March 22, 2010.

By the way, did you notice the ufo in the Spirit image?

Almost center at the top.

Spirit landed at Bonneville crater which is located in the larger Gusev crater
Curiosity landed at Gale crater

does the horizon on these look similar?
Maybe not and I'm clutching at straws but something strange definitely happened when I downloaded these images.
