It looks like we had a pretty good drive on 4078 roughly to the east (or NE) and now have a better view down into Marathon Valley:

i really liked the ones in shadow from sol4200 but sol4201 are even better. ICE chokes horribly on the righthand R image for some reason, so here's anaglyph of the other two pairs
"opposition surge", so thats what its called, thanks.. i've noticed this interesting effect quite a bit carpooling when one can actually get a chance to stare at at landscapes on low-angle sunny mornings, its especially apparent in iceplant type vegetation, i thought the effect aside from shadow hiding was just a prismatic reflection in plant epidermal cells but perhaps thats implicit as an aspect of the wiki's very brief coherent backscatter explanation. |
