I understand that the answer will be known before superior conjuction.
After discovering the first image released from MRO and comments, This mean that, "our" image's wizards could simulate what we'll see in a few days. For the others, like myself, we can only tell it. 1-Will Oppy be visible in details? I'm concerned by the brightness of the solar panels (better shot now before cleaning events 2-how will we see her tracks? 3-Ema Dean & Beagle will be the only realy known places 4-we can see a lot of boulders inside VC. Which will be the smaller we'll see? 5-will we see the rocks inside Duck Bay crater? ...more Let me try a bet : we'll see Oppy's shadow. -------------------- |

Somebody said that MRO has about the same resolution as Oppy on the far rim. At 800 meters Pancam gets a resolution of 23 cm/pixel. HiRISE does about 30 cm/pixel so Pancam is still a bit better. -------------------- PDP, VAX and Alpha fanatic ; HP-Compaq is the Satan! ; Let us pray daily while facing Maynard! ; Life starts at 150 km/h ;
