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... |

Just making some new slides for my next talk (thanks for the help, James!), thought some of you might find this useful in making sense of Oppy's horizon view...
Close up of those particular hills here... http://twitpic.com/16xi9m/full Crying out for the full 3D view treatment, I'd say...

Bopolu on the horizon!
Amazing, since it's so far away. (about 65 km to center of the crater). -Tim. |
