To answer Ustrax's querries from the other thread, I think we can now see more of the
The leftmost (Endeavour north rim) and middle (far rim) features look similar. But it looks like we can see more stuff on the right, which is Endeavour south rim and Iazu. The view we had a few sols ago (2133) of Iazu was still partly obscured by dunes, so it makes sense that we can see more now. I can't see Bopolu in the navcams, though it could be there and buried in the jpeg noise... |

...and I made my pan at 7am, so they were just 8 hours old then?!?!
 That's fantastic! (And ESA still hasn't released those 'crescent Mars' images taken by Rosetta years ago. Just saying.) -------------------- |
