Peter, did you mean to give us a better image or a link to that? It's tiny... I'm sorry, it's stamps. We have to wait for the transmission of full-sized images. -------------------- Free software for planetary science (including Cassini Image Viewer).

I think of all the Craters Opportunity has visited. This one might become my favorite. It's Amazing. That's just what I felt two days ago (in the old thread): "When I see this, I'm just thinking: "The Perfect Crater". I feel like a food critic who just tasted the perfect... ratatouille.. - Not too big, not too small, interesting topography, eminently navigable inclines, easily approachable rocks, untreachorous solid surface: Perfection. Add to that: a rover team which has reached driving and science operation excellence, a deep space network that's not just a network but is more like a Swiss clockwork, and finally a fast-working second-to-none imaging team at UMSF! These are good times indeed. Now I just hope Mars doesn't throw us a curve-ball. But even if she does, the MER team will deal with that splendidly, I'm sure." ---- I must add that by eminently navigable inclines I meant the ones outside the crater itself, because I concur with what others are saying in this thread. We shouldn't try to go into this one! BTW, do anybody remember the discussions the team first had back at Endurance? - "Should we go in for the science, even if we can't get out again?" I must say that Steve Squyres took the right approach: "no way, we must be able to get out!" I personally questioned that approach at Victoria, because I felt there was SO much to see, but I was wrong and this arrival at Santa Maria is the proof! |

Very high quality, Dilo, right on the mission's standard.

Thanks for the thumbnail pans, guys! (It's a sure sign things are getting interesting when people post thumbnails!)
Even though the resolution is very low, you can just make out the overhanging cliffs inside the northwest rim. I can't wait to see the full res images! |

The normal refresh times for the image archive at the Exploratorium.
If we know the images are on the ground ( which we do) then the next scheduled refresh time for the Exploratorium ( something we're used to via experience ) will mean we get to see the images. |
