Maybe it's a lighting thing but the crater on the face of Mt. Cook seems less distinct than before in this latest view. By contrast the slightly smaller one out on the plains beyond is clearly visible here on the far right.

QUOTE (ngunn @ Jun 24 2010, 02:31 AM)  the crater on the face of Mt. Cook seems less distinct than before in this latest view. I think it's just that particular filter. A glance back at previous R1 layers from the last two weeks seems to show similar contrast and texture. (sorry didn't have time for a comparison image). -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Finally, the lasts images where up, so it possible to finish the Sol 2279 color pan
 The view is starting to be great ! This inspired me some letters insertion to form the word "Endeavour" inside the crater (and a new header for my site).

You're welcome Stu
 Sol 2280 L257 view. I think that is a part of the approach movie they plan to do.

NASA's sneakily put out it's "super resolution" view of Endeavour's hills...
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?rele...ml&rst=2653 And we have some official names to start using, too...

QUOTE (Stu @ Jun 29 2010, 09:49 AM) And we have some official names to start using, too... And our destination has a very appropriate name, too! Folks from North Queensland know Cape Tribulation quite well. Don't be deterred by the word tribulation. Captain Cook was in a bad mood that day. Cape Trib is paradise!

OK i'm really confused.
 From this information it seems like we are headed to Cape Tribulation. This is great, exactly where I want to go. But What about A.J.S Rayle's May 31 MER Update where it seemd like the target was the little hill north of Cape Tribulation (which I don't think we can see yet)? See also Climber post #456. If our target is north of Cape Tribulation, why is it not named on the map?Anyone know where we are headed?

A little comparison between Cape Tribulation on Earth and on Mars.

We can't see our destination yet, so it's not going to show up in the images.

Wow Astro0. That's uncanny. What ever made you think of making that comparison?
