The pipeline is back!
I'm liking the Mercury cluster! http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...0M1.JPG?sol2584 http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...0M1.JPG?sol2586 And the pics from the criss-cross "inverted terrain" are up, too: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...0M1.JPG?sol2581 That's more contrast than I expected. |

I was looking at this a few days ago but didn't want to say anything and jinx it. Keep in mind that we’re not there yet.

So am I the only one old enough to think this image reminds me of a Rolling Stones album cover?

Check the latest map update because I think the stop at this crater field is already over. No "shiny" rock around here.

Aahhh! Stretching - is there anything it can't do? Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Great work, Jan, just a lovely view. That's Mars right there, isn't it? Ancient craters, stretch of razor-flat horizon, mountains reaching up to touch the sky... glorious, glorious place. What I'd give for a real colour version of that view, but we've already moved on. And fair enough. Endeavour calls.
