If it was a mound of any height - we WOULD have seen it by now
![]() imho - it's a very very erroded crater, much more so than eagle/fram etc - i.e. pre hydrological activity - it'll just be exactly what it appears on the orbital images - a ring of exposed rock perhaps a few CM above the surrounding area with no inner 'dip' or dunes Doug |

According to Pando's last Opportunity routemap (link: Pando's RouteMap) and JPL's sol 387 Pan (link: Pan sol 387), Vostok should be seen on that sol 387 Navcam picture: 1N162546176EFF4700P0680L0M1.JPG
(on the left part of the horizon, and roughly 400m far). Thus in fact "it must been a really low mount", as you wrote Djellison and TheChemist... -------------------- Erwann |

Astrobio has a nice javascript Mars clock. Just add this to the page source:

QUOTE (MiniTES @ Mar 3 2005, 03:35 AM) That's three minutes ahead of the JPL clock - what's with that? ![]() I think MMB's is just a couple seconds off Mars24's. I'm not exactly sure why the difference from Mars24, possible a rounding error. Couple seconds off was close enough for my purposes. ![]() |

Looks like the "vessels of discovery" naming meme still applies...though I don't remember any "Voyages of the Naturaliste," Google again saves the day! -------------------- Lyford Rome

Looking all around Naturalist QTVR Pan; damnation, where is Vostok? Thanks, Lyford.

At the top of the page so it's always visible. ![]() You can get a non-Flash (but javascript) html Mars clock at: http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~lemmon/mars/MERClocks/mera.html http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~lemmon/mars/MERClocks/merb.html http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~lemmon/mars/MERClocks.zip It is as accurate as the UTC clock of the computer it is run on, or to within a couple seconds for a time-synched computer. It can be put in another web page or set as a desktop feature (at least for windows, haven't tried elsewhere). |

I still don't believe the white annulus visible from MOC images is bedrock... I think it's lighter coloured dust that's accumulated around the object.... all the craters show this when seen from orbit. |
