Hi,

Yesterday, I wanted to put in color the three very first pancam of the Sol 1.

The first shot toward the horizon :

It's possible (if not likely) that the Little Toaster might have operated for quite a while after the lander's batteries died, in which case she might have drawn a rather obvious circle around the lander. Of course, it will be next to impossible to tell from such a feature (if it is visible) exactly how long Sojourner orbited her poor, dead parent... And from what I understand from earlier discussions, it's literally impossible for any of the the current orbiters to even try to contact Sojourner on her UHF link, on the extreme off chance that she's still working after all these years. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
