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... |

Wow... I come home from work, log on and see... The Future...
I haven't been as excited by such a view since we first peered over the edge of Victoria Crater. And I have to be honest... seeing the Hills from top to bottom like that, this is the first time I've actually, truly believed Oppy will eventually reach them. Fanciful view - and please, no-one say "ooh, the Sun could never be there!" if the viewing geometry is wrong; it's just to evoke the sense of wonder I'm feeling right now... -------------------- |

and please, no-one say "ooh, the Sun could never be there!" if the viewing geometry is wrong... Ok, I do not say "what is the height of the sun there about? 10 degrees? Then the southest azimuth point of the sun around in the early morning can be about 115 degrees for Oppy (at Ls 270°). Therefore probably more realistic with one of the peaks of Endeavour" Either way a nice "atmospheric" composition (of course). -------------------- |
