I was just nosing around the Athena site ploughing thru old bookmarks and stumbled across a new update from Steve - sounds like our plight as long suffering information junkies has been heard. Big thanks to Steve for taking the time to keep us updated - and long may they last! Doug |

Thanks for the link Doug.
The Methuselah story is prety interesting He lived to be 969 years old, and was the grandfather of Noe (flood hint ) Was the naming a coincidence ? Anyway, I looked at Sol 454 pancams and was unable to locate it. Anyone else tried ? "For Spirit, the big news is that we've interrupted our climb of Husband Hill to take a look at a fantastic new outcrop that we've named Methuselah. We just spotted Methuselah this past weekend, in some Pancam images that we took on Sol 454. It's a spectacular outcrop of layered rock, perhaps the best that Spirit has yet seen. It'll take a few sols of driving to get to it, but once we're there we're expecting to work it over pretty thoroughly. After 400+ sols in Gusev crater we've finally started seeing some real stratigraphy, and we think that Methuselah may have some very interesting stories to tell.

I haven't visited that site in many months...I used to all the time up until the time the rovers landed then switched to the JPL/Exploratorium sites beacuse they had all the pictures
So where's Methuselah?.......I guess it's not the feature they've ben parked in front of the past few days. This is probably it: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...GP2402L7M1.HTML Maybe we should move this to the Spirit section........ |

QUOTE (djellison @ Apr 20 2005, 09:07 AM) Aw, why did you have to say that?! Now I have an overwhelming urge to find out!! Go on, give us an idea. I won't ask for names for obvious reasons. Give us some general occupations perhaps? jG -------------------- Turn the middle side topwise....TOPWISE!!
