New shots of Oppy posted. You can see tracks and a lot of landing effects. Well, not new, but new to us. They are from right at the end of the primary mission. They are cProto images. The stated resolution is 0.5 centimeters/pixel, although this almust certainly should read .5 meters/pixel or 50 centimeters/pixel. It would be interesting to take follow-up images in the coming years to see if we can observe the landing evidence fading.
