QUOTE (fredk @ Nov 30 2011, 03:45 AM)  Another drive and another incredible view on 2790: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...0M1.JPG?sol2790 I'd have to wait for a three-d view to be sure, but it certainly looks like a good perch for rolling the wheels up on it and get a great tilt. |

Wondering why they choose names referring to South Africa while looking for Northern tilt

QUOTE (ElkGroveDan @ Nov 30 2011, 01:48 PM) We can now see the Cyclops crater from the navcam. It's been visible in navcam for quite a while - here's a shot from 2668:http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...N5P1944R0M1.JPG But it is easier to see now, since tau is gradually dropping. You can follow the tau here. |

I love the way that the summit of CY blends in with the other (much bigger) peaks around the rim of Endeavour in this shot:

Imagine striding up that slope, standing on the ridge and, shielding your eyes from the Sun with your gloved hand, looking over the other side, down onto the floor of Endeavour and across to the other side...

My apologies for this unorthodox way of presenting this Sol 2790 shot, but it was the only way I could do it so parts of the image wouldn't be so headache inducing in 3D, had to chop it up! Anyway, more superb, freaky rocks, loaded with features:

Here is an L456 of Transvaal. No sharping, just the barest of color cranking.
Notice the green in the top left corner, which always exhibits a vignette (... probably causing it)

Here's Bill's X-eyed, false colored pair of Transvaal (sol 2790) in anaglyph form.
