(Can't wait to see them!)


Same here, and I'm not at work this evening so I can watch them come in with everyone else smile.gif smile.gif

I'm wondering now what the rocks will look like at the crater's edge. Will they look anything like the rocks we saw at Concepcion? It would be great if some of them had the same 'rind' or 'crust' we saw on the now-famous 'Chocolate Hills'. I've been working with some of the PDS files from the Concepcion visit and here's a reminder of what we saw there...

But as usual, there will be things at Santa Maria we didn't expect to see, things we haven't seen before, and that's what makes this epic trek across Meridiani so fascinating...

Oppy is sitting on the northern flank of Santa Maria -- images up on exploratorium -- can do anything with them but gawk (...at work!)

Oh, wow. Spectacular! Beautiful navcams too. I can't wait to see the composite images that all you resident gurus produce from these.

That's got to hurt!

Fantastic pictures.

You people act like it's more fun to put these photos together than it is to traverse month after month of featureless rippled terrain.

Here's a pancam 3D view. I love the way you really get a sense that there's a heckuva big hole just over that near ridge. Topography at last! smile.gif
