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.

Actually - with that foil on the 'big piece' - it probably, from orbit - reflect the ground around it, and not really appear too imposing itself - so most of what we see from orbit is the black ejecta, and the cumulative effect of all the chared heatshield remnants around and about. Form above, the big piece isnt really, all that big
