...the drive was aborted due to continuing arm stalls.

Latest JPL update. Can anybody calculate where this Zane Grey is, 36m from our present position? Is it the black rubble pile or is it the rim proper?

Sol 735 (Feb. 16, 2006): The plan for this sol includes remote sensing and a short diagnostic activity for the arm.

Looks a little dark to me? (Maybe because I'm used to the stretched images.)

More Sol748 images from PanCam multifilter just arrived. Here a partial stitch (AS is not able to complete entire mosaic):

And to celebrate - i've rushed out the part of the Gibson pan that is now in colour!

See my website to download full and half res versions.

Woohoo! (That's my intelligent comment.)

It will be in full filter colour as soon as the data is down.

Ahh - you see - the old mer.rlproject.com is 2 years old - but UMSf, amazingly, isn't even 1 yet (Mid March for that)

Lord no!    Let's hope not, otherwise we might not get past them to see all the other good stuff.

Rather than posting several large, marked up images, I have cut a few examples of rocks that might display crossbedding.  We're going to have to see some of these closer to be sure.  Some of them may only be minor unconformities rather than crossbedding.  I've also included one example from the "what the heck is this?" category.

This is just so amazing.  I can't believe we are seeing so many brand new rock types, all in such a fantastic exposure.  I can't imagine what else we'll find as we look around.

As a newbie, I'm really impressed by the quality of the images (especially the enhanced one) and by two things they show about Home Plate (and the surrounding stadium).  Thanks much.

Great panoramas, but the first is the best.  Very nice view over Husband Hill, Comanche, El Dorado, Arad - Spirit on the road to Lorre Ridge.

Here's my updated version. It's okay?

Thanks, James.  These images will be great to play with.

Not levelled out the brightness, but what the hell, it's something

I shall be first in the queue(line) as it is just a few miles from my house - Hurrah!

A few recent small colour pans:

Since this is the thread for "...and points south", it seems as good a place as any for this little chuckle.

The homepage for the Mapping and GIS Laboratory at OSU (the routemap people) currently features a link to an article published in the Columbus Dispatch back on January 3rd.  It includes some quotes from the Ron Li, the leader of the OSU mapping group, as well as 2 routemaps credited to the OSU group, showing the rovers progress up until December 22, 2005.

Imagine my surprise when I looked at the Opportunity routemap...not only did Opportunity already arrive at Victoria (which has shrunk to 200 feet wide, and is now apparantly renamed Erebus), but they have already driven partially around the rim
