Great!

But, are we *really* sure it's an impact crater at all? Those edgy things look so like... ...teeth. How big can a Sarlac actually get? Stay away, wittle Wover, stay awa-a-a-a-ay!

You could be right blink.gif tongue.gif

According to this Wikipedia article [...] there are apparently other Sarlaccs on Tatooine and other planets [...]!

And [...] no one has taken the time to study this dangerous creature [...]. So who knows, probably they grow that big?

Back on "VC features", I'm not quite sure that dunes insides VC get the same orientations as the one in Endurance. Is that true ? Does it means that dunes' orientation is related to wind direction at Meridiani or is it more crater's shape related ?
Thanks

The ridges at the bottom of VC are of the Network type: Networked ridges in troughs on Mars tend to form in local topographic lows and areas of secondary flow circulation. They are closely spaced and appear to be smaller than the other ridge types. See the

Hey Pando,

How did you get your cereal bowl to spin around so quickly without flying off the table? wink.gif

That's excellent, thanks very much for letting us see that.

Several people told me they couldn't view WMV file (Mac users) so here's an MPG of the animation I posted earlier...

Oh, and Stu, I nailed the center vertex down tight... smile.gif

VERY nice Pando... with all theser simulations, renderings and anaglyphs, Victoria's become a real place now, hasn't it? smile.gif

Can't wait for our first real view of it!

Any ideas what this distinctive light protuberance on Victoria's rim is? It's still too far to discern any shape really but my human tendency for pattern seeking is trying to tell me it's a pyramid. blink.gif

A cross-eyed stereogram of the feature (brightness and contrast slightly mismatched, sorry):

It's most probable bright outcrop on the opposite ~far rim of the crater.

That's what I think. We'll keep an eye on this light spot: if it is on the near side of Victoria, it will remain visible for a while. If it is on the far side of the crater, it be disappear as we head downhill towards the crater.

I imagine it will stay in view for another dozen sols though, so we may even get a little more detail before it vanishes (which I agree it probably will).

Ok, "Victora on the horizon" thread disappeared (and all my posts in it too sad.gif ) but VC still visible, every day better! smile.gif
