A little different view of the terrain, with the local slope color-coded:

Here is Jan's panorama in circular form, showing a nice easy driving area. As jmknapp noted, it's going to get a lot more rugged pretty soon.

The large rock in the middle of this image seems a bit out of place. From this distance, its surface texture reminds me of the pits on a meteorite. Since we're moving more or less in that direction, maybe we'll get a better view later.

Sol 636 images are coming down, here is the beginning of full pan, looking south and panning right

Stretched version - far from perfect since I'm struggling to correct the tilt (straightforward with one image, less so with a pair), but it does bring out features I wouldn't have noticed.

That big rock does look enticing! I think we'll go pretty close to it.

Random note: a few weeks ago I learned that the DAN pulsing neutron generator had a limited lifetime. Today someone pointed out the arithmetic to me: the warranted lifetime for DAN was 3 years after launch, or until December 2013. So any day that DAN's active mode continues to work is a blessing. Similar units on Earth have lasted anywhere from 2 to 6 years, so it could continue to work for a while, but may not. It should function forever in passive mode, and still do great science searching for anomalous levels of hydrogen in the subsurface, but once the neutron generator dies (and apparently once it goes, it goes quickly) it will no longer be able to suss out the layered structure of the subsurface.

Another drive on sol 637, and it looks from the Hazcam as if we are just uphill from that big rock. Maybe a weekend target?

Nice!! Joe, what do you estimate the size of that rock/meteorite? Fred, we need someone standing next to it!
