Peter, did you mean to give us a better image or a link to that? It's tiny...

I'm sorry, it's stamps. We have to wait for the transmission of full-sized images.

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


That's just what I felt two days ago (in the old thread):

"When I see this, I'm just thinking: "The Perfect Crater". I feel like a food critic who just tasted the perfect... ratatouille.. smile.gif

- Not too big, not too small,
interesting topography,
eminently navigable inclines,
easily approachable rocks,
untreachorous solid surface:

Perfection.

Add to that:
a rover team which has reached driving and science operation excellence,
a deep space network that's not just a network but is more like a Swiss clockwork,
and finally a fast-working second-to-none imaging team at UMSF!

These are good times indeed.

Now I just hope Mars doesn't throw us a curve-ball. But even if she does, the MER team will deal with that splendidly, I'm sure."


---- I must add that by eminently navigable inclines I meant the ones outside the crater itself, because I concur with what others are saying in this thread. We shouldn't try to go into this one!

BTW, do anybody remember the discussions the team first had back at Endurance? - "Should we go in for the science, even if we can't get out again?" I must say that Steve Squyres took the right approach: "no way, we must be able to get out!" I personally questioned that approach at Victoria, because I felt there was SO much to see, but I was wrong and this arrival at Santa Maria is the proof!

Very high quality, Dilo, right on the mission's standard.
Gracie Mille!

Thanks for the thumbnail pans, guys! (It's a sure sign things are getting interesting when people post thumbnails!)

Even though the resolution is very low, you can just make out the overhanging cliffs inside the northwest rim. I can't wait to see the full res images!

The normal refresh times for the image archive at the Exploratorium.

If we know the images are on the ground ( which we do) then the next scheduled refresh time for the Exploratorium ( something we're used to via experience ) will mean we get to see the images.

And, as far as I can see, we should get not only the missing navcams from yestersol's mosaic but the whole 360º of a new mosaic taken from a point 4m closer to the edge.
