For those who do not know yet, here (http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/mro/gallery/press/20061006b/Victoria-color.jpg)is an areal view of the Victoria Crater on Mars. This was taken with the HiRISE camera on the new Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter now circling the planet. (It can take images up to a resolution of 13cm / pixel!!!). WARNING: The picture is 20MB!!

And now all you have to do is to spot the rover Opportunity in it. :) Good luck!

Sadly Opportunity's eyes are closed...

And is it too much to ask for a smile?

How big is the crater?

How big is the crater?

800 metres in diameter. HINT: The rover is but a small spot in the image, but its shadow is clearly resolved. Try the upper left corner.
