She's there! Opportunity drove down to the "Cook Haven" bright outcrops on Sol 3512.
Even better, news via Twitter that currents on the front right wheel are back to normal. Phew. |

Thanks for those, Phil. I can't wait to see this anniversary sequence in colour...
We haven't been to the distant ridge behind CY, but I see what you mean by it running to Santa Maria. But we were in the direction of this frame, where we can also now see a distant ridge: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...2M1.JPG?sol3539 This frame (more accurately the left side of the frame) is looking roughly towards where we made our big turn east after heading south from Victoria. I mentioned recently that our first sighting of Solander was around sol 2269 - that's also at the turn to the east. So we may now be seeing our route across the plains (though that depends how far away that distant ridge is). |
