The eclipse thumbnails appear to indicate a maximum conjunction at almost precisely the 03:22:00 P.M. LMST mark, the exact time of the RLB darkening event. Way cool catch by the imaging team.
And speaking of cool - Sol 369 tracks anaglyph - gotta love that repeated JPL Morse Code track. Easy to judge distance too, I believe it's about 1.5 meters per rotation if I'm not mistaken. (50cm wheel diameter x 3.14 = 157cm or 1.57 meters). -------------------- "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." -T.S.
