QUOTE (ustrax @ Sep 19 2006, 06:24 PM) EDITED: Now lookin at it Cabo Frio may be on the far right of the image... Don't think so, it should be on the right and closer to us but picts has not yet been downloaded. BTW, Ustrax, I'm like you and I don't see what Doug's say it's on the rim of the crater. I may be wrong, it looks like "something" in sitting on the plain. Does somebody has figured out the actual distance to the rim ? Edited : yep, may be I see what Doug's saying. -------------------- |

QUOTE (climber @ Sep 20 2006, 03:00 AM) I may be wrong, it looks like "something" in sitting on the plain. You mean like Luke in his land speeder coming to say "Hi" to Oppy? 
Sure seems to be kicking up a bit of dust behind the speeder. |
