Upsidedown astronomy photos shown were dowloaded as is, upsidedown, from astronomy and teaching sites on the Internet. Even TV shows major assumed breakthrough astronomy photos full screen upsidedown, for instance craters on Mercury are rounded upthrust pin cushions. I see this all too often and wonder what science editors eat for lunch THE USPY DOWNY SYNDROM Let's start with an obvious upsy downy - the 100,100th image by the Mars Global Surveyor satellite. The image (below left) looks pecular. As rotated 180 degrees (below right) the image makes sense. And so you have an introduction to the perplexing pecular problem of why science editors, who are supposed to know their science, present astronomy images upsidedown leaving all viewers of the image scratching their bobbing heads trying to figure out why topologies can look so wierd compared to geophysical topologies seen out the living window at home or at work where sand or snow blown barren land is nearby. I am assuming if you click on the 'this' science link above you will see the upsidedown view in it's CNN Science page, but, there is always a chance that someone will step in and correct the image's orientation all other factors on the page staying the same. If you see the upsidedown view you will know the CNN science editors are happy with their work. If you see the correct view, you will know that embarassment forced the the only thing possible to end self evident moritification. Holy potatoes yasman whats going on planetary scientists in an uproar around earth swarming busy offices with publications and papers trying to figure out what kind of geophysics has formed these strange extra terrestial shapes no one yet the winner and the debate going on for some time. Turn the picture upside down and stop circulating the rightside up picture as real planetary with its holy potatoes Left, as downloaded from the Internet. Right, as turned right side up. Whoah. Stop. Pause. Time out. What is going on. Here is the Degas Crater on Mercury, exactly as downloaded from APOD on the Internet (source no longer active). As you can see, many strange objects, rounds, glassy protrudes, a circus of mysteries, in a radial spray. So this is what astronomy is all about, trying to figure out what could have caused THIS geology
And THIS is the picture turned upsidedown. Couldn't get worse. How could an amateur (me) be so careless, then so foolish as to show the mistake to anyone. You bet I am showing the mistake. Take a look, the Degas Crater turned upside down turns rightside up. Once again, pros have posted an image that is upside down. See for yourself. Craters actually appear as if an imp had wiped away Phd's with a single snipe of a fast back button Correct me if I am wrong, but, does not this Mars vastii panarama look better when flipped upsidedown. For one thing, the crators are innies, not indented bubbles. Next is the flipped image. Everything seems true Click on image for large Next is the image as seen displayed at this site, and as downloaded into my computer. Everything is wrong. Apparently, pros in the wilds are increasing their credentials and academic degree certifications by analysing images (such as this next) and convincing peers that only they are correct. But, everything in the image is wrong, because it is upside down. Innies appear as outies. If you think I am making a big case of this, you are correct. It is as if a huge population out there simply cannot tell where there mouth vrs their bottom exhaust pipe exists, when it comes to definately analysing the latest news from astronomy images, such, as, from Mars. Click on image for large I have a hard time trying to picture pros pitching woo about their analysis of the above image (which is inherently wrong). One or two isolated cases of Wrong might not be news. But wrong cases of images analysed that are wrong, and wrong, and wrong, is a condition, not a hiccup. Continue reading. Soon, you will come to sections explaining why optical illusions occur in the first place, not by human error, but by laws of image indexes and refractions. |

The number of images in astronomy which have appeared on the Internet upsidedown, whose strange features are discussed in nauseous quantities by theorists, is legendary, too many to ignore. A single second to turn the image right side up, ends bogusary conflicts. Time to get the act together is now |

Original - not correct - downloaded as is from 'Global Survery' site
Correct - rotated by 180 degrees
Above,
a rolling
smooth undulating
surface (1st) instantly transforms
into a sand blasted windy desert plane, (2nd)
with dune directions moulded in two clearly seen vectors
Original - not correct - downloaded as is from 'Global Survery' site
Correct - rotated by 180 degrees
Above,
another sand
blasted desert plane
instantly appears when the image
is rotated into correct alignment
for its
imbedded 'optics and refractions' per
ambiant Sun angles when imaged, to
reproduce a correct view
For
instance,
you (planetary
scientist) might spend
six months trying to formulate
what kind of theories could produce
those rolling round formations.
Answer: Flip - Windblown!
Limestone
deposits on Earth
below water from the burbling
runoffs of hot springs, can have the look
and feel of flat rounds and mounds, not unlike the
mounds seen above, however, Earth's limestone hot springs
stream deposits do not look like windblown sand dunes
when turned upside down. They do not. So assume
the mounds in official Mars Global Surveyor
images are not limestone deposits from
hot spring runoffs covering the
surface of Mars very hotly
back in time. Assume
you have not been
careful with
your image
alignments and
so have been presenting
optical illusions from your best
most brillient efforts. Wrong. A mistake
is a mistake, no matter how brillient
Original - dark image - downloaded as is from 'Global Survery' site
Correct - enhanced to reveal more details that were in the original
Above,
the original
image was enhanced
(adjusted) at home by me using
an image processor (Paint Shop Pro) in
a Windows 98 desktop PC. Impossible black
valley depths are exposed, the details were
in the original in medias too dim to
be discerned by normal levels
of professional scientist
image processing, but
are nonetheless in
the original
image. It
takes me
(and
others
similar minded)
to bypass peer urgent
career needs to tackle an image
to see what is really in there, rather than
trunkating the image's possibilities to produce a
factored image guaranteed to produce another grant
for the following year because of no criticism.
I can live with criticism, cannot live
in illusions. GM
Mystery - enhanced - rotated by 180 degrees, and staged in Virtual 3D
The
above
enhanced
image produces
another visage when turned
upsidedown. In truth it is not possible
to tell which is the correct visage, except, the
cliffs (sculpted landslides) in the above view rotated by 180
degrees, seem more like genuine tissue scars than do the
rounded mounded finger-cliffs in the original. Actually
the stereo pair immediately above is correct. Notice
the pour out of a small portal lower left the
pour starting in a thin pinched stream.
This is a coherent correct item not
possible seen coherently if the
image is upside down
Then again, which is correct. Both turned versions can flip in and
out of innie - outie illusion.
NEXT
Original - not correct - downloaded as is from 'Global Survery' site
Correct - slightly enhanced, and rotated by 180 degrees
Above,
mounds become
small craters and pock marks,
and more small (high resolution) detail is
seen by a slight enhancement of the original image's
density and color(s) strength (GM). Increasing an
image's small detail by enhancement is akin
to finding darkmass in galaxies and
astronomy images by enhancents
done with courage not
limited by peer
pressures

high resolution images. This
link is to a master cylindrical map of
Mars. In this link, you will see a full sized map
of Mars blocked out in areas. Each blocked out area clicked,
will present a local picture covered with tiny green rectangles. Clicking
on any tiny green rectangle produces a detailed high resolution 'wide
angle view' image of that small area - in each will be a small
narrow white rectangle, this clicked, will produce a long
thin strip comprising a 'narrow angle view' with
resolutions resolved to objects of about
5 feet across, the size of small
boulders such as you might
find in your backyard
by the swimming pool
Mars global satellite main page
The
'flawed' Mars
images demonstrated
above are all 'wide angle' views.
Bear witness that any image you might download
may be flawed, until to test it to see if its downloaded
'orientation' is correct. Further, you MUST be aware
of characteristics in optical illusions to be
able to judge or study any such images
Here
is an item
whose width seems to
expand and contract when the image
is slowly scrolled up and down
by the cursors
These next images are of Andromeda, and are used in context
here.
An
unusual
optical illusion
of a kind I have not paid
attention to before - where innies
become outies when an image is converted to
reverse negative. Clearly, the optical properties of
depth become reversed, but how. I don't think I am
going to sink my brain into an answer for this.

WHEN INNIES TURN INTO OUTIES
MOON'S JUTTING PLATE
FLIPPED TOP TO BOTTOM, JUTTING PLATE SEEMS TO HARDLY JUT
Flipped, standout features are more easily seen in the
right image
Rotated, most features seem the same
The
inversion
in the purple colored
'plate' photo is subtle, and is
included to show that subtle forms of
inversion can occur, for instance tiny
craters can invert from pits to pock
marks but major features can
seem unchanged or just
marginally different,
unlike the opening
photo where
obvious
craters
change to
an appearance
of lava flows after
a massive volcano, effects
like this can be totally misleading
and I have often had to turn a picture upside
down, particularly images of Mars or solar system moons
close up, in order to understand what the picture is revealing,
whereas the originals which has to be turned upside down by
me, are the ones pro astronomer's are using and making
declarations about, regards what the picture
shows, vrs what the picture actually
shows, revealed when I the
amateur turn it up
side down
This
black and
white side view
above is tossed in to
give perspective on the sheer
magnitude and size of this abberational
plate which juts high out into space above the
surface, on the near side of the Moon

topology inversion
occurs in this full sized
picture of the Moon when the image is
flipped, but not when the image is rotated by 180 degrees

instantly seen in the left image

PARTIAL INVERSIONS
Have
fun with this
next magnification, some
features invert, for instance a
prominent triangle up-jut seen at the
top of the second and third view, is hard
to find in the first view, and a tiny
pockmark in the giant bowl next
to the jutting plate becomes
a button in one of the
re-aligned views
- you find it
COMPLETE INVERSION
Next
a complete
change in persective
as innies become obvious outies
when the image is both flipped,

Here
next no

image is both flipped,

Its difference is its a side-scan
image, whereas the optical illusion image
above (craters at a Moon pole) is straight overhead
A collapsed plateau in mono, a lava dome in stereo
With
a picture
like the above
(despite poor quality
resolution) astronomer's simply
cannot know what they've got since the image's
most salient feature is not constant or entirely predictable,
in that it seems a collapsed (crashed) center plateau in
the crater, but also a buldging lava dome, and this
might be due to the side-scanned image itself.
It needs to be tested - if side-scan
images can produce false starts.
The long rod sticking out
into space (like an
old timer's
longtube
telescope,)
I suspect could
be an explosed lave tube
from watching geophysics on TV but
not necessarily, it could be somthing else, a mystery
These
clues
are all I
need to show,
to fabricate together
an intriguing puzzle which can
be straightened out by physics the hard
core way (by fundamental equations), the puzzle
being just what constitutes the parameters for an optical
illusion to occur in a 3D object tranferred into a
two dimensional plane via photograph, and how
do the parameters interract to produce,
or not produce, optical illusion.
Do not expect the equations
from me, not my forte
Due to
the fact that
astronomy images are
rarely noted as to true alignment
in deep space, images I have used have been
oriented to most suite local conventions, for instance
images of bar galaxy Ngc 1365 have all been
shown in
the same orientation for an instant familiar sight.
It is recommended most urgently, however, that
when true orientation use it and only it
to bypass theory and interpretation
faults caused by optical
illusions in the
image
Here is an
example of an obvious
Upsy Downy. Everything looks
correct, the roads etc., except there is
a large done, where there should
be a crater
It is the
Barringer crater
in Arizona. I turned it
upside down to show how much an
optical illusion can effect an image
The optical illusion
(dome) is caused by the angle
of incidents of light rays from a source
glancing off the crater from all directions and striking
the camera, the light is a single source whose incoming rays have
a dominant common vector as they strike the crater and glance off.
More about the cause of optical illusions sourced in glance
angles of incident light rays is

A PERFECTLY LOGICAL SEEMING CHANGE OF EVENT, WHICH IS FALSE
In an
astonishing
change of event
the image completely
reverses its 3D when viewed
by letting the eyes drift out of focus,
then viewed by gently going crosseyed. The
eye-drift 3D view correct. The reason such
dramatic 3D intent reversal is because
the image has been arbitrarily
modified so is not
authentic to
original
scan
1a
The
extra 3D
is handmade by
sliding a piece of the
right arc to the left plus a
small piece of the lower arc upward,
resulting in a dramatic change
in 3D horizon planes
In this
next example,
the integrety of the
Virtual 3D state stays intact
but 3D noticably collapses, and the single
red slash moves into the background, when the
image is viewed by gently going crosseyed.
This is because the red slash was
arbitrarily added, the red
slash was not in the
original scan
