So far images of Victoria - from orbit and from the ground, as Oppy approaches - have been tantalising at best, and frustrating at worst. What does everyone think we've seen so far, and what features do you think we'll see as Oppy approaches and later, when she finally arrives?

Okay, we all seem agreed that naming features after Magellan-related places, people etc is appropriate... let's start getting that map filled in!

Okay, we all seem agreed that naming features after Magellan-related places, people etc is appropriate... Of course, you're right. Scientific probity, etc. etc. But I keep looking at that tiny little crater on the southern rim of Victoria. And I can't help but be reminded of who married "Miss Vicky" on the Tonight Show back in the 70's. ![]() ![]() David |
