5 downsampled navcam frames from sol 2078 are down. Someone might want to make an animation.

I guess this is what Maxwell meant by his cryptic comment:
QUOTE Squyres: "It's gonna be a long day in the jarosite mines today."

I guess this is what Maxwell meant by his cryptic comment: Surely that must have been an Opportunity reference. |

Surely that must have been an Opportunity reference. The jarosite reference doesn't necessarily narrow it down, but it seems like Oppy approaching yet another(!) mystery rock is just another day in Meridiani and not worthy of special comment by SS. edit: Or, perhaps the comment is just in reference to the fact that for the first time in a long time both rovers will be moving. Or, SS says that all the time and Scott just decided to make note of it today. Such is the trouble with interpreting cryptic remarks (or cryptic postings of ordinary remarks). |
