I would love to see one pasted on a museum wall. None of the prior crafts had anything this detailed. I had an urge to find and trace the path of Spirit, so I put light-colored dots to indicate the path marks I could find almost clear back to the landing platform (also visible).

(If you are using Internet Explorer, don't forget to click on the full-width button, usually at the lower right, otherwise it will shrink it too small to see the added dots.) ________________ oop.ismad.com Edited by tablizer May 19, 2004, 03:40:37 PM EDT Expand All History

It is odd that a giant boulder could sit that long up there without rolling down. Then again, in low gravity all kinds of things might seem out of place. For example, the "Yogi" rock in 1997 was balancing on its edge, the rover found it when it went to the other side of it. There is also a "gleam" on the mountain side it looks like. Other images have also shown such gleams, so they are probably crystals reflecting sun or something. (I suppose they could be camera artifics, such as radiation hits or others kinds of noise.) 200K image: [link\|http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/p/132/2P138079813EFF5200P2438R1M1.JPG\|http://marsrovers.jp...5200P2438R1M1.JPG] ________________ oop.ismad.com
