Stuck rovers
Jason Perry and I have been looking a bit at the HiRISE image of Victoria Crater, trying to figure out where Opportunity got stuck in April of last year. We found a map at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpegMod/PIA07922_modest.jpg and compared it with the HiRISE image, and finally found it. I’ve attached a screenshot showing the location. It is interesting to see that the area where the rover was stuck is considerably lighter than most of the area around it, possibly from dust the rover kicked up.
