Used the HiRISE IAS Viewer to zoom in on this image http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020758_1780 and then messed about © a bit with the resulting crops to make a portrait of Oppy at Santa Maria on New Year's Eve...

Unashamedly artistic view of Santa Maria...
A whole load more "new" images on my blog, here... http://roadtoendeavour.wordpress.com/2011/...-at-santa-maria if anyone wants a look. (Not looking for extra traffic, just not very fair to hog UMSF's bandwidth by posting them all here ) -------------------- |

To steal a phrase, "magnificent desolation", Stu.
If I had the space outside, a karesansui based on this would be awesome. Andy |

Visitors would definitely flock to this rock garden!- the imaging team has supplied us with enough geography to build this...
Could we dig it next to Meteor Crater, Arizona please? (like Stu's crater comparison shots) -------------------- 'She drove until the wheels fell off...'

For some reason it's the shots of her toiling across the open country that get to me. That desert is so big and she and her tracks are so small. Pretty amazing girl, she is. (Pretty amazing achievement, MER team....)

QUOTE Total odometry is 26,701.08 meters (26.70 kilometers, or 16.59 miles). I know I have followed Oppy drive every mile of this, I still can't get my mind around it when I see it in print. -------------------- Lyford Rome

Normally the polar views don't do much for me visually but this second one is just awesome.

Has anyone heard anything science-specific about Ruiz Garcia? What the heck is it?
?New form of well-cemented deep local sediment dug up by impact? ?Impact-welded local sediment? ?Part of the impactor? (Primary or secondary?) ?Something else? |
