In this processed 5x vertical stretch of Ant103 pano, the distant mountains on the centre/right should be the Iazu rim... Can someone confirm?

There's a distinct feature which appears darker; I think that is part of Iazu's ejecta blanket, and beyond that yes, I'd be surprised if it's anything but the rim of the crater itself.

... and a combination of three of the recent postings showing a broad pan across Endeavour - resolution reduced to match the navcams in the middle. A full pancam view of this will be quite the eyecatcher.

Thanks for all the stunning pans, guys! Phil, that's the first view - Frankenstein monster or not! - that's given the impression of sitting on the edge of an immense crater - spectacular! And although the haziness of the far rim reduces the detail there, it adds to the sense of scale, making it pretty clear that the far rim is many km away...
Turning away from the view to the east for a moment, we had a beautiful view of
Quite a change from those two minute bumps on the horizon from a couple of months ago, eh? |

Phil, thank you for that pan. That really helped to convert the orbital FOV of Endeavour into a coherent surface viewscape -- a true 'sense of place' if that makes sense. The view is absolutely stunning!

Wow....
I love the different horizon lines in the latest pans.. can see the lip of dip that Opportunity strolled out of .... What a trek Oppy is making... and thanks to MER team for releasing all the images and thanks UMSF folks for the wonderful use you make of these. Craig |

Thanks, guys! We should point out that the high point of CY is on the left side near horizon in that new pan (as Deimos mentioned).
The new pancam view of Mariner 9 is amazing - here's an anaglyph:
Do any of the geologically-minded care to speculate on what the light-toned material at the top of the highest point on the rim is? It looks pretty smooth for bedrock. It can't just be lighting, since there are other surfaces with similar tilt. Light-toned soil/dust? Does anyone recall seeing similar features before? |
