The directories in this directory are a series of JPG files that provide      
a simple method for browsing through the NEAR MAG archive.  The system        
is designed to be viewable by many WWW browsers.                              
                                                                              
The BROWSE directory has a structure identical to the data directories        
on this CD, where each contains plots of NEAR MAG data in NEAR Sun            
Orbital (NSO)and Eros Body Fixed (EBF) coordinate systems.  NEAR Sun          
Orbital (NSO) coordinates are Cartesian coordinates defined with respect      
to the NEAR-Sun line and the orbit plane of Eros.  The X-axis points          
from NEAR to the Sun, the Z direction is given by the Eros velocity           
vector crossed into X, northward normal to the Eros orbital plane, and Y      
completes the right-handed set.  Eros Body Fixed (EBF) coordinate system      
has its Z-axis along the Eros spin axis, the X-axis is in the Eros            
equatorial plane, and lies in the direction of the prime meridian. The        
Y-axis completes the right-handed set.  Data used for the plots are the       
same as those provided in ASCII format in this data set.                      
                                                                              
Spacecraft position relative to Sun is indicated at the top by radial         
distance and solar ecliptic longitude and latitude.                           
                                                                              
NEAR position relative to Eros is shown in two ways.  In the top              
panel, NEAR location relative to Eros is shown by Clock Angle and             
Excursion Angle. In the bottom two panels, NEAR location relative to          
Eros is indicated by longitude, latitude, and distance, defined in EBF        
coordinates.
