New Spirits elevation map. I enlarged it and added contrast. <br /><br /><font color="orange">The blue area represents the basaltic plains on the floor of Gusev Crater, about 20 meters <br />(66 feet) below the rover's present location. Spirit crossed those plains for several months after <br />landing to the west, off the left edge of this image. The greenish-blue area is the "West Spur" of <br />the "Columbia Hills," which Spirit reached on sol 156 (June 11, 2004). Since then, Spirit has been <br />gradually ascending the slopes of the "West Spur" in an east-northeasterly direction. Southeast of<br /> the rover's current position is a brighter green area that represents an abrupt increase in slope <br />where the "West Spur" meets the steeper flanks of the "Columbia Hills." The yellow and red areas<br /> represent the highest slopes and peaks. A steep valley east of the rover's location appears, from orbiter<br /> images, to have layered outcrops. Scientists are directing the rover to a ridge overlooking the <br />valley to get a better look at what lies ahead. <br /><br />http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/press/spirit/20041207a.html<br /></font> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

Wow! great images rlb2. If this crater was on earth, I'd say there was some water erosion in these pictures. All the sediment on the bottom is a result of water washing down the sides of the crater and pooling on the bottom of the crater.

I see you have been busy, I like looking at your work, it looks very smooth. <br /><br />I haven't settled yet but I am using Phoenix Public library to download my images. <br /><br />I am glad to see that the rovers are still working. They may complete a Martian year and even break <br />the Vikings record for endurance. This will keep us busy for a long time.<br /><br />Here is another map of Spirits trek through” The Hills" I increased the contrast and enlarged it a bit.<br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>
