Beautiful, and it will probably be the last RAT hole until we reach Endeavour.
Just a few additional activities and we should be back on the road. From the current status report: QUOTE The plan ahead is to perform a rock abrasion tool (RAT) grind on the surface target Luis de Torres for follow-on microscopic imager (MI) mosaics and alpha particle X-ray spectrometer (APXS) measurements. Completing that, Opportunity will resume the trek towards Endeavour crater. RAT is done, APXS too, and a big bunch of MIs should already be on the downlink queue as I write this post. |

Remarkable sharply defined contrast between the background and foreground in the R2 filter (754 nm). |

Whenever I see images from Santa Maria like this I always think "vertical scale exaggerated"... - But it is not! Thanks for this one jvandriel.
