Bye bye, Tisdale. It's time to move on.
Next target? Philosilicates. ----- Edited on Sep 16 2011. This thread is dedicated to the exploration of Cape York, starting on sol 2703 when Opportunity left the "rocky garden" and started moving towards Chester Lake. |

wowie! What a spectacular view.
Q- do we see haze in the distance? It looks so much like the San Fernando Valley, my brain computes an earth analog :-) Apologies if this has already been discussed, I searched for "haze" in this topic and the Cape York thread. |

APXS = real science! There's no way the team would release the important stuff like that before they had a chance to publish the results themselves.
The pictures have relatively little science value (at least it's unlikely anyone would scoop the team and publish something based on the pics alone). That's why we get to see the pictures in real time. Q- do we see haze in the distance? Absolutely - actually it's dust hanging in the air. But it's been slowly improving as we head into winter. Check this post.
