I hope it'll be one of the last view of the plain for a while (note the still fuzy horizon)

Let's wait for today's images. I've just checked the planned sequences (a.k.a. "secret codes" laugh.gif ) and Opportunity might be on the move now or in a few hours. Another question is if we are going in (probably not) or just moving closer to the planned entry point.

CODE
01285::p1212::09::2::0::0::2::0::4::front_haz_ultimate_2_bpp_pri15
01285::p1312::07::2::0::0::2::0::4::rear_haz_ultimate_2_bpp_pri15
01285::p1832::01::2::0::0::2::0::4::navcam_1x1_site_frame_1_bpp
01285::p1988::04::6::0::0::6::0::12::navcam_3x1_paolos_plunge_SITE


Mmm, "Paolo's plunge" site? huh.gif

I'll answer myself... wink.gif
SS revealed me the secret behind Paolo...:

"Paolo is one of our rover drivers. We've chosen the site for entry into the
crater based on his recommendations, and that's where we're headed."

This is it boys...
Downward Oppy! biggrin.gif

Oh...and on another issue of major importance here's our PI arctic reaction:
"The bear? How on earth did you guys hear about me and polar bears???" laugh.gif

Headed to the entry point.
Here is the latest navcam mosaic taken on sol 1285.

And looking to these old tracks, do you all remember the excitement when we saw the crater for the first time around sol 950?

Eduardo: I surely can remember our excitement from that time. That is what drives our species toward explorations. wink.gif

I don't know how we missed this, but there is good news tonight. smile.gif
I've been looking back through earlier images, and it appears that the cleaning event may have taken place between sols 1269 and 1270. Notice the changes in the dust on the instruments and the hazcam lens in the attached animation. The optics and the instruments were cleaned. No wonder they are running back to Paolo's planned plunge point. biggrin.gif I can't wait to see the panels. cool.gif

"Opportunity may have enough vitality to venture into Victoria Crater, the largest yet explored by either rover. "

Now wait just a darn minute. I think Gusev Crater is a wee bit larger than Victoria. biggrin.gif

Others will do that view much more justice, but I was just so swept away I thought I'd have a beginners go... tongue.gif
