Agreed. Dynamite interviews, Stu; provided a great deal of insight into Oppy's present findings & activities!

Is that the 'dagger' in view now, two thirds of the way across this image? http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...PHP1604R0M1.JPG

QUOTE Is that the 'dagger' in view now May be the "dagger". See Tesheiner's post #473: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&p=180368 --Bill -------------------- |

Yep, that looks pretty Daggerish, or at least Daggeresque, to me... ( Anyone else feel a bit dizzy looking at that..? ) -------------------- |

That's what I'm taking to be It, yep. Clearer on my stretch...
Edit: hmmmm. Not so sure now after taking a look on Google Earth... I think maybe the Dagger is still round the bend a bit... -------------------- |

I'm quite sure I see the 'lobe' of dark material extending beyond the contours of Cape York.. and the dagger is in sight partially, but it's a shallow feature seen at a very low angle from here... like Tesheiner's post...

I think we are seeing the Dagger, but heavily foreshortened since CY is so flat for the most part. Here are some measurements to back that up. I've identified a little knob in both orbital and navcam views (indicated with a white arrow in both). (The navcam is a stack of L/R to improve S/N.) The far side of the "mouth" of the Dagger should be 8 degrees to the right of that knob. We can now see plenty more than that. So it looks like the little dark notch in Stu's stretch is the Dagger.
