Saw a new HiRISE image up of Gusev earlier and wondered if the 'chute had moved given the strong winds.

The top of the 'chute moved between Nov-22 and Dec-12 '06, and then back again May-10 '07. I'm not sure how much is lighting and brightness/contrast within photoshop - but I think the last image, the chute is possibly dirtier than the other.

Off to hunt at Meridiani now
