Texas的土老财真有聊
Texas的土老财真有聊
在google maps上瞎逛发现了这个,应该是在Austin东面三四十英里的地方,Smithville县境内。明显是哪个土老财搞出来的,那一大方块地看起来都是他们家的。曾经几次开车从附近的71号公路经过,有小丘陵,无边无际的草场,牛群,蜿蜒的Little Clorado河与公路时分时合,公路中间盛开的野花如地毯,没想到背后还有这等玄机。。。
搜索了一下,都说Luecke这个词其实是德语姓Lücke,当然了,Texas确实是有很多德国移民后裔。还找到了有人从飞机上拍的图片:

2. NASA对于此事的解释:
We also made an empirical estimate of spatial resolution for lower contrast vegetation boundaries. By clearing forest so that a pattern would be visible to landing aircraft, a landowner outside Austin, Texas (see also aerial photo in Lisheron 2000), created a target that is also useful for evaluating spatial resolution of astronaut photographs. The forest was selectively cleared in order to spell the landowner’s name ‘LUECKE’ with the remaining trees (figure 10). According to local surveyors who planned the clearing, the plan was to create letters that were 3100 ´ 1700 ft (944.9 ´ 518.2 m). Photographed at a high altitude relative to most Shuttle missions (543 km) with a 250-mm lens, Formula 3 predicts that each pixel would represent an area 28.6 ´ 36.0 m on the ground (table 5). When original film was digitised at 2400 ppi (10.6 mm/pixel), letters correspond to 29.4 ´ 18.8 pixels for a comparable pixel size of 27 - 32 m.
3. 中华儿女有奇志--证据就是,这样的大字我中华上国早就有了:
“为人民服务”和“排除万难去争取胜利”
地点是在甘肃酒泉附近。点这里看全部六条标语。”根据cnBeta的报道,卫星图上出现的”毛主席万万岁”等5条标语信息,为原第八航校官兵在戈壁滩上创造的奇迹,这些环绕机场的”语录”地标,可以帮助飞行员保持空域位置,引导教、学员准确进出空域,地标所在区域的中心点,便是柳树泉机场。其中一角还有一条废弃跑道。因为柳树泉机场地处戈壁,附近没有明显的地物特征;飞机都是设备简单的初教机,导航设备简陋,所以就弄了语录地标。柳树泉老机场的位置为 42°33′6.31″N 94°13′6.95″E ,现在已经废弃。”
从google maps上截了几个图,做了这个:
推荐一个地图网站,很不错,有好多高分辨率的地图。
