Martian Vistas

Here are some of the colour (R21) drive direction mosaics taken over the past week or two as Opportunity crosses a relatively featureless part of Meridiani.

Opportunity took this 360 degree panorama while parked near to the small, fresh crater called Resolution recently. There are still one or two bits of missing data and I still have a few tweaks to make, but I'm not sure when I'll get time to do that. So in the meantime here is my current 'draft' (at half the full Pancam resolution).

And for those of you without 3D glasses here is the 2D version.

500 sols or so ago Spirit was up on top of Home Plate looking down on the West Valley that she is currently trying to traverse. I made a 2D panorama back then from the images taken on sols 1366 to 1369. Now to help visualize the terrain Spirit is about to encounter here is a 3D version.

Eighth Resolution (1406 x 408) ( 165kB )

The first attempt to take a panorama of Resolution crater - As the drive preceding this ended up being in the wrong direction, this was taken from considerably further away than expected. Opportunity is currently taking a much larger panorama from a closer position. Note the parts of Endeavour Crater (Oppy's destination) on the horizon.
