Dear All I'm new here, although I've been reading news and information posted on this forum for a long time. It is a great source of information for me
I do not wanna be boring with these panoramas but ...below are my two latest navcam colorized compositions of craters which Opportunity has visited lately. I tried to make colors to look similar to Eagle crater surroundings: Yankee Clipper http://www.flickr.com/photos/55907406@N08/...in/photostream/ Intrepid http://www.flickr.com/photos/55907406@N08/...in/photostream/ -------------------- Polish space portal covering up-to-date space news: www.kosmonauta.net

Now this 3D view is pretty special, I think...
http://twitpic.com/369217 Intrepid in the foreground, and Endeavour on the horizn - for the first time, I think, actually looking "distant and solid" in 3D... -------------------- |

From Opportunity update: "Total odometry is 24,946.12 meters (24.95 kilometers, 15.50 miles)."
Opportunity is now just 1 mile short from surpassing Apollo 16 Lunar Rover travel distance record of 16.50 miles (26.55 km). Coincidentally we are little less than 1 mile from Santa Maria (approx. 1.5 km in straight line) according to Scott Maxwell Scott's tweet. (On the other hand: Apollo 16 Lunar Rover traveled only about 2.8 miles (4.5 km) from landing site) |

I'm having a fun self indulgent day doing lots of experimenting with pics. Intrepid Crater is beautiful to look at so I thought in addition to Pan Cams I would share this b/w rough stitch of Nav Cams from 2145 on 08-Nov-2010
..........which I am starting work on as a full pic but may not finish for ages as I am going to be v busy the next couple of weeks. For full res download go to http://picasaweb.google.com/10220631534056...985812322927618 |

Opportunity is now just 1 mile short from surpassing Apollo 16 Lunar Rover travel distance record of 16.50 miles (26.55 km). What record? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunokhod_2 "Lunokhod 2 operated for about 4 months, covered 37 km (23 miles) of terrain, including hilly upland areas and rilles" Still a long way to go before Lunokhod 2's distance record is surpassed. |

IIRC, we've still got several km to go before we encounter those. The next few months are likely to be similar to driving across western Texas...kinda long & monotonous.
