That is absolutely bizarre. A great idea, but bizarre.

QUOTE (djellison @ May 8 2006, 10:56 AM) Ahh - yes, that S11 obs might have Victoria at the bottom - but we'll have to wait 6 months to see it Doug But,...,MRO has already started to take images on Mars, recently was close to MER-A (West of Hella basin) and also close to MER-B (North of Argyre crater. Then, does anyone know if MRO will again test its HiRSIC again over the MER's sites before than October 2006? Rodolfo |

Back to the thread's topic...
An updated route map (sol 815). The rover is currently located 47m (parallax measurements) north of that outcrop with a dark cobbles field.

That dark cobble field ahead looks like a sink hole. Why hasn't this hole been filled in by the dunes and sand movement?

Prometheus:
A sink-hole would indeed be nice - but rather than asking why the area hasn't been filled in, what about asking what's taken the infilling material away, instead? I hope we get a good look, anyway! Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

Here is the route map, updated to sol 816. I thought it was time to move the background map; "Corner Crater" can be seen at the bottom if the zoom view (left side).

QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Apr 5 2006, 05:02 AM) The attached image is a greatly reduced and horribly JPEGged version of the Opportunity route map I'm working on. I need to add better background images before I can complete it. It is built up out of 12 separate square maps, each a separate file in the original version. The squares are 500 m across. A square grid at 100 m spacing overlies the whole thing, with its origin at the lander. I will show enlarged versions later when the backgrounds are finished and other things are done with them. Phil Any progres on that AMAZING route map Phil? Are you planing on updating it with last ~40 sols driving? -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

Hi - I will post something from time to time. Ultimately the full thing will be in my future book on Mars.
