Opportunity has made it to Victoria Crater!!!

The Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has made it to the rim of the crater Opportunity. A recent Navcam mosaic of the crater is here. On this mission, we have gotten so used to seeing rocks that might look big in imagery from the rover but in actuality are only a meter or so high. In this case though, the things around Victoria really are big. The promontory of rock to the left of the rover, a feature we're calling Cape Verde, is 10 or so meters high! Once again, it is like a whole new mission!
