Hope you've got those 3D glasses handy Nick...!

Almost There

The Edge

And here's a colour shot of "Nevada"... (which is very well seen on "Almost There", by the way...)

At last a late afternoon image of the "mess". Hmm, the wheel doesn't look free - rather still digged...

Oh, yeah...donned them the second I read your post! (Staying home today because the hot water went out in my apartment...AGAIN... mad.gif )

Remarkable, is all. Damn, we're that close? Nevada sure looks like a crystal of some sort to me...gypsum? Aragonite? A silicate of some sort? All are minerals that require water to form, so hopefully they'll take a moment to look it over more carefully.

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.

At last a view of late afternoon shadows of the rim reaching across the crater! Spectacular! smile.gif I've been hoping for such a shot for a long time...

Why did only the front left wheel move on the SOL 1604 "drive"? huh.gif

I think there was a drive attempt between sol 1600 and 1602, but it looks like it resulted in slippage abort. Both rear wheels seem to show some slippage and the front wheels, i.e Oppy is a bit sunken.

While we wait for Opportunity get free of this mess, here's a 360º panorama made with navcam pictures from sols 1600 up to 1605.

A polar version too. Note that north is to the left; the picture is rotated for aestetic (imo) purposes.

The silhouette image from Victoria Crater was a musical interlude. This is a crescendo!

This "sunburst" pic is pretty cool, too... Seems like Oppy's future's so bright she's gotta wear shades... cool.gif
