Zooming in on Victoria Crater

Regular readers of my blog will know that I am not fond of NASA. However, every once in a while NASA does do something really cool, and I am compelled to give due credit. Recently the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter started sending back pictures of Mars, including a spectacular shot of Victoria Crater, alongside which the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity currently sits. The image file is huge - 2048 by 15178 pixels, nearly 27 megabytes - so I took that file and created a short video zooming in on Opportunity. It is truly amazing what NASA accomplished with this orbiting camera.
