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

That's a fascinating anaglyph Fred - you can almost convince yourself you can see the crater as a depression, can't you?
I guess it could have been a lot worse; if Spirit had driven further in, and not just sank in on one side, I think the game would already be over. -------------------- |

you can almost convince yourself you can see the crater as a depression, can't you? I would say the crater is clearly visible - no convincing necessary! I was even able to match details of the size, shape, and topography with the contour map. Notice for example the "channel" running out of the crater to the NNW. (It shows up on the contour map as blue.) Look at Ant's original anaglyph to see it more clearly.QUOTE I guess it could have been a lot worse; if Spirit had driven further in, and not just sank in on one side, I think the game would already be over. Exactly! I was thinking the same thing. Looking at those images, there's nothing (apart from the crater shape and hindsight) to suggest danger in the crater. I think the plan was to get over to the "sidewalk" beside HP, and that may have saved us from certain doom. |
