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.

Doug, have you done a colour image of the impact site? That might give us more of a clue.

Several - check the heatshield thread

The imact crater is much the same colour as the surroundings - but it has thrown a lot of dark debris around. Combining that ejecta in a SE direction, with what would be dark debris ( you wouldnt get the specular reflections at a 2pm local orbit from above ) I guess it sort of makes sense
