I figured it was time for a new thread, since we finally seem to be getting some science results out of Phoenix. The press release should be out shortly.
First numerical result I've heard was given by Peter Smith at today's press briefing at AGU: TEGA found that the soil is composed of 5% calcium carbonate, which is a significant result. Hopefully more will hit the Web soon -- post here when the links go up! --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

OK folks, answering my own question here...
The names can be found in the Sol Summaries area of the Analyst's Notebook. Select any sol to get started, then in the Report window, choose 'Features and Targets'. You get a list of feature names which links to identifying pictures and other information. It just needs to be combined with a panorama to make a map with placenames. It's a future goal of mine, it won't be done soon. (but feel free to do it for me!) Try, for instance, the rock Midgard and the polygon trough Land of Oz. They are clear enough, some others are not. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
