Spirit is now almost at the bottom of Inner Basin.

Time to start a new topic.

Here is a 360 degree panoramic view taken with the L0 navcam on Sol 667.

Looks a little like a crack............

That's what it looks like to me. If we see more, I guess that has something to say about the basin. Does anyone remember any cracks, at this scale, out on the plains?

These bluish sand deposits clearly arise from rocks erosion... ohmy.gif I never noticed before!

Yep, and it looks a lot like the features frequently seen around the evaporite plates at Meridiani. First time I've seen it here, though.

WOW! very clear night (dawn) exposure!
I tried to enhance one couple of them (Nav & Pan cams), but sky is very noisy:

Most luminous is probably Phobos, unless...

Spirit is in a nice sandy area. Where's the "microcraters"?

As we go through new photos, let's keep a watch for them. Their absence would be just as interesting as their presence.

Local time should be around 5 am; this explain why sky is clear and we can see terrain.
My unspoken "Earth" hypothesis is not crazy, considering position and luminosity (we are now very close to Mars...).
The simulated view I attached (taken from Space simulator) show the horizontal FOV of NavCam, now I corrected orientation and added PanCam FOV indication... if hypothesys is correct, the star visible on the left of Earth in PanCam image could be Jupiter, but angular distance should be smaller. Can someone identify other stars?

There seems to be an aborted drive on sol 683.
Planned seqs for sol 683 indicated a drive but there is no actual movement i.e. drive/site numbers are still AJW6, the same as after sol 680 drive.
