Opportunity landed in a hole!
"Science leader Steve Squyres says Opportunity has scored a 300-million-mile hole in one!
As suspected overnight when the first images arrived on Earth, the rover has landed inside "a 20-meter diameter" crater, Squyres reports. The crater is estimated to be "a couple of meters deep." Therefore, it should not be a challenge for the rover to drive out, he said.
A much larger crater, seen in the descent camera images, is near the lander and likely within reach of Opportunity to explore. "
However, I don't see many things that look like rocks that could be used by the RAT.
