It's not a surprise; we've known for ages now that CY is on the inner slope of Endeavour, the only question has been how high it rose above the surface, really. We'll see soon!

QUOTE (algorimancer @ Jul 31 2011, 02:01 AM)  Is that a cliff or crater rim I think a crater and a sharp ridge. Check out the identification here.QUOTE (climber @ Jul 31 2011, 12:23 PM) Was Tribulation visible from Victoria? I think we could only see the north rim "twin peaks" and the far rim (east rim) peak - the one with the "cyclops" crater. So we may have to wait till we complete half our circumnavigation of Endeavour and climb that far rim peak to see Victoria again!

QUOTE (Astro0 @ Jul 31 2011, 04:31 AM) I've added a new version of Opportunity's journey to Endeavour Crater on Youtube covering sols 2553-2671  Too big to host here. Interesting to watch the scenery change. Enjoy Excellent work. Love it. As you might know, Paolo Belutta (rover planner) has been creating a "Endeavour Movie" -- we take a low-res navcam after each and every drive in the direction of Endeavour, and he's going to put them all a movie-like form, much like your video. I think there's going to be some extra goodies in there, but I haven't asked him. It'll prove to be a beauty. -m |

Later landslides would mess up that line anyway.

Yep, I knew that Paolo had arranged for that sequence (#1994 was it?!) to be taken. I think that more than a few of us are looking forward to seeing it completed and I bet that there might be one or two of us that will try to beat him to it of course, in our usual friendly UMSF way
