Auf zu neuen Ufern !

Let's discover new shores !

Beautiful !!!

Schönes panorama, Bernhard. I missed your work!
Interesting stitch geometry too...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the elevated terrain at the far edge of this "etched" terrain just right of center? Is that what all of you've been calling Beagle Crater?

Yep, that's Beagle (or Corner as we initially called it) crater.

Jason, check the route map in the pinned "Route Map" thread. It's updated frequently and usually quite accurate.

Nirgal: I thought that the matte you applied around that pano was intriguing. It made me think of the view through the cockpit window of some future manned rover, and that was very evocative.

Beautiful, Nirgal, really....these striking vistas are more than inspiring, they remind me that we are seeing new territory unseen by anyone else (barring hypothetical microscopic Martians with eyespots, that is) for the first time...thanks!!!!

In that same vein, does it strike anyone else as remarkable that each new view from Oppy of sedimentary rock is now routine? After all, this was the very Holy Grail of Mars exploration prior to this mission...I am awestruck with each image, and long to split some of these layered rocks apart and see what is engraved within.

</pseudopoetic rant augmented by that sense of wonder that only UMSF can provide!!! >

Kinda looks like Europa . . . . . .

Ausgezeichnet Nirgal.

I also really like the cockpit view noted by Cosmic Rocker
