Oh my God! It's like Opportunity has landed all over again!
Tonight, I'm (nearly) seven years younger!
What a beautiful christmas gift for 2010 from Oppy and Mars!!!

It's times like this that I feel lucky just to be alive right now. smile.gif

Thank you for your skill & dedication, MER Team, and as always deepest gratitude & admiration for our enormously talented UMSF members who make Mars come alive for us all every day. In a just world, this first peek into SM would be on the front page of every paper on this planet.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

UNNECESSARY QUOTING REMOVED - ADMIN

That's just the way I feel Nprev; privileged!
So great to be living in 2010 and discover Mars in its primeval state! In 200 years from now, humans will be living out there and the planet will be no more the one that Oppy is showing us right now. Thanks so much to the MER team and the UMSF members for these wonderful seven years!!

A bit more detail about the SE rim of Santa Maria here.
QUOTE
One planned target area is at Santa Maria's southeast rim. The red circle marked there on Figure 1 indicates the pixel size and location of an observation by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter that has piqued researchers' interest. The spectrum recorded by CRISM for this spot, unlike the spectrum recorded for the place indicated by the blue circle on the floor of the crater, suggests what might be a water-bearing sulfate mineral. Although Opportunity has detected such minerals on the surface during its nearly seven years on Mars, none have been detected from orbit at a place visited by Opportunity.

I think of all the Craters Opportunity has visited. This one might become my favorite. It's Amazing.

Way to Go Opportunity, JPL & Nasa and all the awesome people here at UMSF with all the great updates,
Pictures and more.

Merry Christmas early.

Very Nice! Congrats to the MER Team. While the bigger prize is just over the hill, this is just amazing fantastic to reach here when a few years ago it was likely considered impossible. Yet more to catalog in the Great Voyage of Opportunity.

Wow! And love the image of the 'opposite side' as well, with Oppy slaloming those rocks.
