QUOTE (BruceMoomaw @ Dec 28 2004, 01:40 AM) Has the rover rolled right up to one of the heat shield fragments? I find it impossible to interpret the little thingie at the top of this Forward Hazcam image any other way: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...FRR2761R0M1.JPG . The image in question is actually from Sol 54, or thereabouts; you're looking at the egress ramp on the lander and part of an airbag. I know, it threw me for a minute, too! I guess Oppy is clearing out its memory banks for some reason. |
