The latest pancams show some interesting bumps on the far horizon as well as long 'swells' on the plain that might respond well to 'phil-o-vision'. Time for the 'Distant Vistas' team to resume work? I'm not going to attempt the first identifications as I have little idea what azimuths we're looking at. Also I don't know what visibility to expect with the current dust levels.

Congrats to the team! 11 years after landing; well deserved.
Presumably there will be a short stay to make a big panorama? |

Presumably there will be a short stay to make a big panorama? That's right, according to the new PS update:QUOTE The plans for Opportunity in 2015 remain the same: drive to the summit of Cape Tribulation, take what will probably be another breathtaking panorama from the vista point, and then rove on to Spirit of St. Louis Crater, and just beyond, Marathon Valley. Huge congratulations to the team. What a way to celebrate 11 years! With the opening up of the view to the south, we now have our first good look at Iazu in a long time: |
