With Spirit producing an annoyingly large amount of power given her current predicament, the time may well have come to re-open the Gusev astronomy society. Anyone have any dusk / nightime observation ideas?

... At a modest 75-power magnification Earth will look as large as Phobos to the naked eye. Share this with your children and grandchildren. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY ON MARS WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN Hehe! LOL. I haven't seen that variant yet, but I'm relieved to learn that I am not the only one being spammed with messages like that. A nice update here. It's very nice, indeed.Thanks for posting that, SFJ. I had gotten out of the habit of watching the main JPL site, and would have missed it if you hadn't provided the link. That was one of the more informative news releases from the Rovers in recent times. I really like to hear about some of the scientific speculations going on behind the scenes, and that piece contained quite a bit more than we normally see. It really should have been linked to on the main Rover site. Ever since Tyrone I have been wondering about the color hues of these deposits, and whether or not they pre- or post-date Home Plate. -------------------- ...Tom
