I take it there's no feedback re my idea that the bright feature seen on that Phoenix image might be a tall rock I pinpointed on a HiRISE image of the landing zone, then? Oh well, never mind. Maybe the new images - thought they were being released about now? - will shed some light on the matter... hope so... I'm really looking forward to seeing some more views of this intriguing landscape.
I'll have to catch up in the morning, I really need some sleep!

I'm really looking forward to seeing some more views of this intriguing landscape. Since I've heard two different sets of landing co-ordinates, one of which is something like 10km from the other, I'd like to get Phoenix located on the surface first, before speculating on connections between MRO images and any feature seen anywhere in the surface images. The surface is pretty homogenous over most scales, it appears, so I bet you could find "evidence" for cross-connections between features in MRO pics and things seen in the surface pics for just about anywhere in the surrounding 100 square km... In other words, I think it's premature to start identifying things in MRO pics until we have an MRO pic that clearly contains the lander. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
