p.s. the images of Victoria crater (several of them are available here) are pretty cool. If you look very closely at the next-to-last image (the one titled "Opportunity Gets Read To Roll") you can see a little blue dot half-way between the "Ripple" and "Cape Verde" legends. That blue dot is actually the Opportunity rover, seen from the HiRISE camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Also, we particularly like the animation of the rover entering the crater at the bottom of the page.
