HiRISE Gazes On Opportunity

NASA and their toys - golly what fun!

No sooner had the MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) and its HiRISE camera dropped into its hi-res photo orbit of Mars, then the guys at NASA do what any red-blooded Top Men would do - aim the camera at Victoria Crater to see if they can get a sweet picture of Opportunity scuttling around the edge. Oh yeah - they got it! You can actually see the shadow of the rover's mast!

Top Men (after an episode of hyperventilation) have culled out a few. Hope you have broadband!
