Here're the latest navcam pictures taken during sol 1850: http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/navcam/2009-03-18/
Spirit is no longer stuck, but I think the attempt to go on top of HP via the NE path is finished and we are going to the West Valley. A pancam mosaic of the western route is planned for tosol. |

Whoah... that's one seriously interesting rock Spirit was just looking at... Agreed. From that single image, it appears to have rock inclusions as well as numerous holes (vesicles) in it. I wonder if it might represent an ejected chunk of highly vesicular impact melt, rather than of lava. Hard to say... -- HDP Don |
