I read that to mean that Yuma itself might be a small crater, quite well disguised.

From the latest update, some good news for when Oppy gets going again:
QUOTE
As of Sol 2499 (Feb. 3, 2011), solar array energy production was 585 watt-hours with an unknown atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 1.07 and an estimated solar array dust factor of 0.678. The increase in solar array energy from the last reporting period seems to suggest a solar array cleaning event.

That's a sizable jump from last week's power, 524 Whrs!

About that "unknown Tau of 1.07" - does that make it a known unknown? laugh.gif wink.gif

After the new comet pictures, all it will take is for Opportunity to start rolling again and my happiness will be complete (until next time).

A last look around at Santa Maria Crater?

Visibility of Endeavour's rim has worsened over conjunction. Not surprising as we head towards summer.

What was that? You wish you could see a migraine-inducing 3D view of Oppy's robot arm and science instruments suspended above Louis de Torres?

Oh alright then...

I'm pretty sure it will improve in the following weeks. wink.gif

I was about to ask what made you think the weather was going to improve, and then I smacked my head! laugh.gif rolleyes.gif

Thanks for the bruise!

On a different note, it is nice to hear from Oppy again. I know SC is familiar now, but I still get the willies each time we go through one. It's kind of like waiting to hear of the safe arrival of a loved one while they travel a familiar route home during the dark hours of the night. -- At least is is for me. ph34r.gif

It looks like a few more days here.
