WTF NASA has $1 all seeing eye in middle of new mars mission pics

Hello all
I just went to nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/main/index as I was watching the slide show in the second slid show down the page at pic 25 there is a picture of the all seeing as like on the $1 bill. I was viewing it on my lg tv so was not able to save it. I have taken a pic on my phone to try and post latter.
Why is it there ?
All the slides are about the new mission that is due to put the rover on mars tomorow.
What does that symble have to do with mars ?
I am hopping a computer savy ATSer after reading this will go to the web site and take a screen shot as I won't be able to upload the pic untill tonight and then it maybe gone from there website.

Sorry first link didn't work try this www.nasa.gov...#

Here is the pic you are refering to - they are describing to the public the detail that can be expected regarding NASA photography technology.

Detail Observed from 10 Feet away with Curiosity's ChemCam This image displays the type of detail discernable with the telescopic camera of the Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument on the Mars Science Laboratory mission's Curiosity rover. The instrument uses a telescope for spectroscopic analysis of chemical elements in targets such as rocks or soil. The same telescope serves the instrument's camera, called the remote microimager. For this image, the remote microimager photographed a dollar bill from 10 feet (3 meters) away. ChemCam was conceived, designed and built by a U.S.-French team led by Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, N. M.; NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.; the Centre National d'Études Spatiales (the French government space agency); and the Centre d'Étude Spatiale des Rayonnements at the Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées, Toulouse, France. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory mission for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. This mission will land a rover named Curiosity on Mars in August 2012. Researchers will use the tools on the rover to study whether the landing region has had environmental conditions favorable for supporting microbial life and favorable for preserving clues about whether life existed.

VERY interesting that they used the all-seeing eye as their "example"

here's the link.......

nm

It must be a nod to pyramids on mars.

Thanks for the pic and the laughable explanation they give.
I must admit on seeing it I without further research wanted to get this out on th infoweb
I think a pic of some type of land mass or rocks or god anything but that any doubts that I had that NASA is in on something are gone. This is in your face goating/ laughing at us truth seekers that it all true but what you going to do about it

edit on 4-8-2012 by Sublimecraft because: (no reason given)

What's interesting is that the center framing of the pic is exactly at the base of the eye's triangle. I would imagine that if the detail of bill was the only point that the photographer was trying to illustrate, he/she would have centered the circle or the middle of the bill. It is interesting...

Thanks for the info and the pics guys I feel much better now that will not be getting people trying do debunk my thread all day.
Has anyone heard anything strange about this coming mission ?
I have noticed a confusion in landing dates was the origanal date change ?
Could this be the project blue beam all this stuff about the 4th.
If the mission was running a day late ?
Here we are all looking down at earth what if we get some fake video footage from the rover.
I don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes but I have learnt to be ware of the tricksters

in order for the paradigm to change as tptb might need something has to shock our culture and view of history or religion....
some "proof positive" discovery maybe that we are not alone, that would do it

S&F for a good catch.
Out of the infinite number of things they could have used as an example, they chose this. It has to either be an employee joke or some kind of message. Coincidences of this magnitude simply do not exist.

Using currency is actually a common technique in image an signal processing for a few reasons.

1. Everyone knows what currency looks like
2. Currency has a lot of detail that can be revealed or obscured to show how an algorithm will effect an image

I have currency based in examples in many of my image processing books. I suspect this is just another example of this.

For anyone interested there is a count down on the link in above post for the landing.
I am fascinated by Mars and feel a bond with it.
I realy believe we white people came from that distant place.
are pyramids on mars ?
Could it be us with fair skin came from mars ?
Further from the sun white skin
Could we be the ones in ancient writings ?
With a little technology we could have tricked earthlings into believing we were gods.
Could TPTB know this and don't want to let the truth out because project blue beam would mean nothing
Just my rembling no facts I ask question and make my on conclusions.
I think it's as plausable as TPTB being in cuhoots with aliens,spirits or dimantional crap.

I do understand that they would use currency for the detail and such. How many other pictures or faces could they have used? Just chance that they grabbed that one? But then again who knows.

I am under the assumption that they are using the all seeing eye, well because the camera is sort of an all seeing eye.

It has pretty good detail and I think that it is a good comparison. I really think that the technician thought this one out pretty well.

Good job techy

I also find it interesting that they are saying that were not going to be getting fuzzy pictures in one color like we normally get from them.

That's the thing ... This is VERY common practice in the image processing world. There is the man with the camera, the kodak girl, currency, and some others. The kodak girl is often used for color space and other types of operation examples. The man with the camera is used for various noise removal techniques etc ... Currency is *often* used to demonstrate detail.

So while you ask how many other pictures could they have used ... The fact of the matter is that many image processing techs wouldn't have thought to use anything else.

I can provide examples from my many books if you like?

I did relise that this would be the kind of responce they would give.
This mission is about finding life off planet Why not show a close up of rocks or soil samples
NASA knows all the crazy stuff on the web.
There are doco's about masson symbles etc.
what idiot would ok that for publication

Thanks for the s&f

I would okay it for publication.

Showing some pictures of rocks or soil samples isn't an image people are familiar with. That's the whole point.

You're asking NASA to alter the accepted conventions in the field of image processing so as not to alarm people who believe in the Illuminati? Then they would just come off as being overly sensitive if later on an email got out from a NASA staff member saying 'don't publish this, it's a secret society symbol and it will make people think there is a conspiracy'.

Could you please post some of these examples from your books ?
I am open to this so would apriecate and some examples to compare.
