I heard about this 24 hours ago, and couldn't believe it - this is EXACTLY what has been missing from ESA. MASSIVE kudos to the ESOC MEX flight ops team for doing it

How about a meteoroid impact that sent up a big dust cloud? Unlikely, I know, but wouldn't that be cool?
(This is where someone from MRO, Odyssey or MEx butts in and says "Well, actually, we did see something but we weren't going to say anything yet..." ) EDIT: An "optical illusion"? Okay, where's the REAL Ustrax? What have you done with him?!?! -------------------- |

I'm here...
This is what I mean: Looks to me that the brightness of the crater on the right and what I call crater on the left looks, going through the images, the same from one to the other... But I may be taking too much Canydril... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
