"Little South" is located on the raised ejecta blanket of Santa Maria- if it had formed first it would have been at the level of the surrounding plains and would have been buried by Santa Maria ejecta. So it's more recent, definitely. I suppose it's possible that it's a late-arriving secondary from Santa Maria itself (i.e. more recent only by tens of seconds) but I think it's somewhat unusual to find secondaries so close to the prime crater rim.

It is interesting that there are ~8 small craters within 0.05 km of the north northeast rim of Santa Maria. Most look a little less pristine than south crater. May not be secondaries, but if not, maybe Opportunity should move as things from space seem to like to land around here. rolleyes.gif

Is that the location where they hope to park the rover during occultation at the end of month?

Here is the navcam view taken on Sol 2468 and 2471 with the L0 navcam.
Mixed images taken on both Sols because there was no movement
of Opportunity.

No movement of Opportunity between Sol 2468 and Sol 2471.
Only the antenna.

A circular version of Jan's navcam panorama. Thanks Jan!

Now that we are up on the rim of Santa Maria and edging round to a point where we can look east, are we finally seeing the HOA View ?

We've definitely got a great view of the local plains surrounding us right now from our perch up here. But our view of the rim of Endeavour is worse than it was a couple of months ago, because even at the highest part of the rim of Santa Maria, we're quite a bit lower than we were around sol 2400. You can see this by comparing this view from sol 2406:
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...00P2435R2M5.JPG
with this view from our highest point on Santa Maria's rim:
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...J3P2297R2M1.JPG
Compare the position of the crater on the far rim - we can now see quite a bit less below it than we could earlier. So as far as Endeavour is concerned, our best view was a couple of months ago (until we get very close, of course...).
