Hi Doug, just I've updated a comparison of craters which Oppy visited. The pictures on the right side shows the craters from satellite images and are approximate in the same gauge. It's difficult to compare it from different satellite image (V+V with Eagle for example) but it gives a certain overlook. Anyway it's nice to see all together, sadly it lacks a better image (pan) of Eagle crater.

Great work, Tman! Boy, it really shows how you can't easily tell a crater's age (or at least, state of erosion) from orbit. Vostok, Viking, Voyager and Eagle all look a lot alike from above, don't they? But they seem of vastly different ages from the ground.

I'd guess, from the looks of the ejecta blankets and such, that they are, in order of age from youngest to oldest, Viking, Fram, Voyager, Eagle, Vostok.
