Such brines may stay liquid down to -70°C.

like Phoenix saw

the high temperatures for sols 100-120 were between 0 and 10 °C and the pressure about 8.5 mbar.

this looks like a distant Galileo encounter 2 image,

the first CCD cameras to the lunar surface (yes, it *has* been that long!).

Is nighttime driving for Curiosity totally not feasible

were the two images taken nearly around the same time?

It's interesting that they didn't investigate this conglomerate rock on Sol-335.

Given that 2005 and 2010 were the previous encounters, we can count on one in 2040 as well.

The map coordinate system used for measuring longitude on Venus is different from that used on Earth. On Earth, longitude (an imaginary line stretching from pole to pole) is measured from a starting point (the prime meridian) at Greenwich, England (near London), toward the east and toward the west with increasing values in degrees until east meets west at the 180-degree point (the dateline), which is diametrically opposed to Greenwich. On Venus, longitude is measured from 0 to 360 degrees with the prime meridian centered within a small impact crater named Ariadne, located in Sedna Planitia (see Figure 3-1). There is an arbitrary convention that determines the direction of increasing longitude on planetary bodies other than Earth: longitude shall be measured in a direction opposite to that in which the planet rotates. Because Venus rotates in a clockwise direction as viewed looking down on the north pole, longitude on Venus increases in numerical value toward the east from the planet's prime meridian.
