Now people, it's not a competition (he smirked).

Tosol (760) is planned as driving day at Meridiani.
Yesterday I made a route proposal and finally succeeded (thanks all) plotting it on the route map. If that's the chosen path or not, we will know soon. |

The reference to halfpipes may suggest the planners have something other than a straight run southwards in mind. I don't read the sports pages and my skiing is all flat crosscountry, but here's an idea of the kind of in and out work they may be thinking of .

When they got the rover into the crater on sol 757 I thought the same. But then they drove back to the top and current position on sol 758 AND the post-drive images (i.e. plan for next move) are looking almost due south.

Awesome. So what's the circle near the middle of the right frame? Somebody blowing smoke rings? -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

That's an internal refraction - the optics bouncing a little bit of the sun around. A lot of the solar images show it as well.

Is that a driving plan for next 2 weeks? Just kidding!!! It's been so long time since Opportunity drove that kind of distance... -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
