A lot more features on the plain than I expected to see - but PLENTY of roving ground

With all that flat terrain, Opportunity should really be able to "floor it" when it gets out of the crater. Full speed ahead! I assume the large crater in the area is just to the left of the panorama, right? I would expect such a large crater to be quite an imposing landmark over the flat plain. -------------------- - Lars

Think the big crater is actually some way off the left , I think the panorama only covers about 170 - 260 degrees, I hope we get to see more soon! It is really facinating to compare with the orbital pic... http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/pre...bels-B016R1.jpg -------------------- Twitter Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here
