This is truely an unbelievable achievement for the MER team. Cresting the hill, with Thira crater is in full view to the east, as that beast of a dust devil goes cruising by and untold more sights to see yet to come. This is quite a moment...

I'm still hypnotized by this view...
What do we see at the far horizont? Is it Gusev crater rim? http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/...NDP0645R0M1.JPG |

Here is a portion of an overlay of the MEX HSRC color, on THEMIS images, showing the area north and east of the Columbia Hills. That "small" triangle in the lower left are the Columbia Hills. The 22 km diameter crater northeast is Thira Crater. We've seen parts of it before, from in between the peaks as Spirit was climbing, but I think the navcam images from sol 581 are the first full view of it.

Spirit is the queen of the hill!!!
Let me be the fool just aside her... Just a suggestion, as we know that MERs are amazing ladies why not giving some rock or feature the name of the first woman climbing Everest? Junko Tabei, of Japan, in 1975. -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
