We should have a sweep... Try to guess the first Woo Woo headline... "Alien (insert noun here) found on Mars!!!"

I will echo Stu's OOhh.
Stunning. The comment about a Tie-fighter crash seems about right. Should keep a couple of computers running hot for a while. Mike |

Here's the view behind the 'gator tail. In 3D you can really see the incredible relief of the ejecta rays - this isn't subtle!
And we've never been dominated by topography like this before at Meridian (except inside craters!) - this view is reminiscent of Spirit starting to climb Columbia Hills, with Gusev plain down below:

I think it's fair to say - Santa Maria was worth waiting for!

QUOTE (fredk @ Dec 15 2010, 12:57 PM)  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! [attachment=23275:1P345688...63L2R2M1.JPG] Try swiveling right to left and back and forth in your desk chair while viewing that one. Just awesome. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.
