Here is a recent image of Opportunity's 'sweep magnet' located next to the Bill Nye's sundial
This magnet has a powerful circular field and a center with no field. In addition to what the magnet captures, non-magnetic particles that are found in the center would be an object of study. This color image was taken on Sol 2273. I had to tweak the colors up just a little since it seemed to be washed out. Did you know that if some one shows you a random picture of either sundial from Spirit or Opportunity you can instantly tell which is which? Look at the orientation of the sweep magnets. (EDIT: or as others have pointed out: the bent wire around spirit's base ) Cheers -------------------- CLA CLL
