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 -------------------- |

Are those clouds? I know the vertical stuff is dust, but there's a horizontal banding in there. Just fill?

No time to check, but it looks like we've driven up to the lineations, and they're visible clearly in the navcams now:

"we've driven up to the lineations, and they're visible clearly in the navcams now" Where are they in that image then? Can you point them out? Sorry not to have done my homework. |
