Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This historic first closeup of Mars was made by hand at JPL as the picture was being radioed to Earth by Mariner 4. It was composed of 40 000 numbers (200 lines with 200 picture elements each) representing different values of grey, from white (0) to black (63). The picture numbers were printed sequentially on a strip of paper tape and then cut into picture lines. The lines of numbers were stapled, side by side, to a board, arbitrary colors were assigned to sets of numbers, and each number was colored with crayons by hand. |
