Here is a recent image of Opportunity's 'sweep magnet' located next to the Bill Nye's sundial
This magnet has a powerful circular field and a center with no field. In addition to what the magnet captures, non-magnetic particles that are found in the center would be an object of study. This color image was taken on Sol 2273. I had to tweak the colors up just a little since it seemed to be washed out.



Did you know that if some one shows you a random picture of either sundial from Spirit or Opportunity you can instantly tell which is which?



Look at the orientation of the sweep magnets.



(EDIT: or as others have pointed out: the bent wire around spirit's base )

..wasn't sure where to put this but it meshes with James Sorenson's info from Jim Bell and the observation that he rovers are also LDEFs now. It is an animation of the RTV warping process on Oppy's sundial.

I just noticed in this quicky that I left off the Sol numbers (!)
(the list I worked with are 565, 585, 594,600, 604, 607, 634, 657, 689, 713, 802, 918, 1500, 2273)
