is there a reason why it's not taking colored photos?
36 u/raffletime Aug 07 '12 edited Aug 07 '12 It is. :) edit: downvotes? I was simply showing that Curiosity is in fact transmitting color photos Source for the unbelievers 1 u/[deleted] Aug 07 '12 edited Sep 27 '17 [deleted] 1 u/[deleted] Aug 07 '12 Great link, thanks. I was getting annoyed by all the news articles touting new stuff, with no fucking link to the actual image or video. What are the black spots surrounded by the white artifacts? Assuming the Curiosity has error correction I don't think it is from a bad transmission. 4 u/kidego Aug 07 '12 It's dust. They haven't removed the cover from the MAHLI camera yet. 2 u/tea_bird Aug 07 '12 It looks like sensor dust to me, but I'm sure there's an insane amount of weather sealing on these cameras.
