Are these available somewhere online? IIRC, there was some discussion on the forum of whatever happened to the PBS Voyager coverage a year or two ago, and the outlook did not look favorable for their survival; I've never found anything either. (I know; I'd love to watch it, too! ) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I do own (I think, I haven't cataloged in a long time) two different VHS videotapes labeled "Neptune All Night" which contain the live PBS coverage of the 1989 Neptune encounter by Voyager 2.
I have no idea whether it would even be legal (PBS copyrights, etc.) for me to try and convert these tapes into a digital format and upload them. And like I say, I've moved a couple of times since the last time I can guarantee that I saw those tapes. But I'll look around, see what I can find in my videotape boxes. (I don't even keep them on shelves anymore...) -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

QUOTE two different VHS videotapes labeled "Neptune All Night" which contain the live PBS coverage of the 1989 Neptune encounter by Voyager 2. Now that I remember! It was jaw dropping! Kinda sad about the tapes. |

Okay, finished up with those three mosaics (two high resolution NAC mosaics, and a more global scale WAC mosaic showing some terrain in the low-res gap in the USGS basemap):

Wow. The detail along the terminator is mind-blowing.

Great work Jason - the mosaics are wonderful!
Here's a contemporary interview with Linda Morabito, who was first to spot the volcanic plumes on Io: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1lp1LXRjRE#t=2m4s&fmt=6 -------------------- |

Thanks, Ian. I knew I had seen that somewhere...I just couldn't remember where. turns out I have that show as an AVI file on my HDD.
BTW, I just got done with my last blog post on this topic: http://gishbar.blogspot.com/2009/03/final-...er-1-at-io.html -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

One thing that stands out so much with these old videos is much images where over saturated.
Io looks so red! |

Stunning mosaic Jason...
wow.... you know Io (and the entire Voyager 1 Jupiter encounter) broke down the old paradigms. We had never seen ACTIVE volcanoes on another world until the Voyager 1 Io encounter. I too remember that PBS broadcast.... I believe it was Harold Masursky who sat there thrilled almost beyond words. Watching from home I was ecstatic. It was a whole new universe out there beckoning.

Am I correct in assuming the images that look like smeared images that were steady for part of the exposure were cases of the scan platform moving during the exposure?

I believe that radiation caused a glitch on Voyager 1's spacecraft timer. Therefore, the scan platform was slewing during exposure for some of the images.

High resolution mosaic from Voyager 1. Resolution is around 3.5 km/pix. Color is from CH4_JS, clear and orange filter.
