The Jade Rabbit has taken a 360 degree composite of its landing site on Mare Imbrium: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140203.html[^] As far as I can tell, these are the first high-resolution pictures taken from Luna's surface since... well, ever. The previous landings all relied on low resolution analog imaging and even lower resolution, television quality digital, and there have been no controlled landings since Apollo 17 on 11 December 1972.
And there is only one rover, not three.

China has done it! what would be good is if they went to one the Apollo landing sites and that would wrap that up for good!

The US military is not going to allow the Chinese military access to Area 51.

Mmm, good day (for a Monday!) so far I'm not tilting at that windmill

I like how as the rover is leaving the area, it starts leaving tracks in the middle of nowhere. I assume do to the time lapse being before it got where it was.

Not really time lapse, but yeah. The composite does have a kind of Whovian temporal disjoin to it.
Added Looking at the image again, you will note a slight "wash-out" effect spaced along the upper portion. At a guess, I think that might have been glare from the sun, and that the composite shots were taken as the sun appeared to move across the lunar sky, giving optimal light while keeping the lander's shadow out of the frame. The wash-out seems to match up with the appearance and disappearance of the rover's tracks.

Freaky moment of the day
LinkedIn suggestions of people you may know contains a deceased person. And he has been unalive for a while now.
|

Couldn't it just be that he is a dead ringer for someone else???

I knew the guy, he was my cousin. Sad story...

Sorry to hear that. Yes, that is a problem. I also have a friend on facebook that has passed away. But his facebook account is still active... That's quite strange.

Well as for being alive, I'm not quite sure about you (despite what it says on your profile), so don't expect a friend request from me...
Here I was, trying to be all serious and sensitive, and then you have to come along and spoil the illusion...

heard a nice quote over the weekend
there are 3 sheep to every person in Wales, thus artificially inflating the average IQ

How should LinkedIn know if he is deceased 
|
|
|
|
|
they don't and it rises the question on how it can be built in law too tackle these kind of issues ...
|
|
|
|
|
The problem is no one drops the account. I was asked to approve skills for a person who died over a year ago.
|
|
|
|
|
yes, but how? You don't have the login credentials. Perhaps you could send a death certificate to linkedin. and facebook, outlook.com, gmail, yahoo, twitter, ...
|
|
|
|
|
Did not say you could, but your idea might work.

Death certificates aren't issued in the name of the user, same as birth certificates. My BC is not in the name of "OriginalGriff"
How would they tie the DC to the user, given the number of "John Smith" and "John Doe" there must be written on DC's already?
