A panoramic view of the direction in which Opportunity is moving.
Away from Purgatory Dune.
The old wheeltracks.

Look at the difference in track-depth between left and right ! Depressions are by far safer to traverse.....

Note that the left tracks are sharper and the right tracks look more wind-eroded. I think that the left tracks are in the wind-shadow of the dune crest. In addition to being a softer surface.

Another panoramic view of the surrounding of Opportunity.
Taken with the L2 Pancam on sol 512 after driving a few meters.
Watch the structure of the dunes.

This is NOT going to be easy to traverse (or go around). It's dunes till the horizon all around.....except to the north ohmy.gif

Starting from the two PanCam partial horizon coverages of Sol512 (toward Noth-East and West respectively), I made vertical projection and integrated it with previous one (Sol454, when Oppy was Stuck on the Purgatory dune):

Red and blue points show the two rover positions when images were taken; they are about 10.5m apart (scale of 8m/pixel)...

This shows a nice contrast between new and old  wheeltracks. Changes are obvious even though tracks were in opposite direction.

Although there's certainly a change between the old tracks and the new, I don't think that we can make judgements about the local erosion environment based on changes to already disturbed material. The fresh exposures elsewhere have actually been amazingly sharp, rather than older tracks being terribly soft (if you see what I mean!).

Exploratorium update for Opportunity, and for today July 12 even.

These dunes looks like waves.

That particular image was taken on Sol 511, 10 sols ago. It's already appeared on the JPL raw images page. Still, it's nice to see that Exploratorium is updating again, and it looks like catching up on the backlog as well.

So far the only new images I've seen on Exploratorium have been four Oppy rear hazcam images this morning, and they were also from awhile ago. But I expect we'll be seeing new stuff just any time now.

Here's a sol 515 view of the dunes. What's a man to do when Spirit's new images haven't yet arrived? smile.gif

Absolutely great image ! Gives me a real feeling of being there. Also gives me a feeling that is somewhat less comfortable: how on Mars are we going to get trough these fluffies ?
