Oppy's next destination - the Shoemaker Ridge...
(3D version here http://roadtoendeavour.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/sr-3d.jpg ) Some more height...surrounded by lots of gorgeous rocks...view right across Endeavour... our first view too, probably, of the Promised Land in the centre of Cape York where the phylosillicates are waiting to be found... Go get 'em, Oppy! Edit: looks like Oppy's on the move... http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...84P1211L0M1.JPG -------------------- |

And the P2405 sequence images today from Sol -2739 named "Sutherland Knobbys" is to the southeast and shows just the edge of the rectangular lineations. They are still mostly hidden by the ridge.
http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...G8P2405L2M1.JPG and http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...G8P2405L2M1.JPG "Sutherland Knobbys" is an interesting bit of Aussie history-- http://coalriver.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/...s-head-on-mars/ The prominent ridge in the second image is actually Sutherland Point in Botany Bay and Knobbys Head is behind it. Or so I think. --Bill -------------------- |

I'd say that pancam sequence is looking more S-SW, well away from the "lineations". But the lineations are just visible in the navcams, here:Obviously we'll need pancams (or to drive closer!) to make out any detail. |
