Blueberries everywhere we look. I got a creepy feeling that this seemed familiar
and realized it strongly reminded me of the "black flies" in Stanislaw Lem's The Invincible. I'm not suggesting the blueberries are anything like the remnants of microrobots in Lem's fiction... but the descriptions in that book have an eerie similarity to our pictures from Mars. |

Could this be in the direction of Vostok?
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...00P2286L7M1.JPG I wonder if the dark line with what I assume is a rock above it is the small crater nearly midway between Oppys current position and Vostok. Just above it is another linear feature, possibly Vostok? Possible meteorite?: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...00P2287L7M1.JPG |

Sunspot: to my opinion, Pancam images from Sol 390 heads toward SW to NW; then Vostok cannot be seen.
Here is a little version of Sol 390 stitched images. I believe Opportunity is parked East of the "two big, one little, crater cluster" (see Opportunity route map image Sol 387). These three craters are seen on the Pan below: the Eastern one on the foreground, the Western on left, the little Northern one halfway to the right side of the Pan. Sand dunes orientation (roughly North South) may fit also with a Westward view.

So, are we at Vostok? The map above makes it appear that way.

I wonder if it would be possible to add a mars clock to this forum? At the top of the page so it's always visible.

Going off-topic here but here's probably the coolest clock I've seen on the web (Earth time though).
