I too am a bit surprised there have not been more color images. The only thing I can figure is that NASA has it's hands full at the moment. They have the Spirit rover going and now Opportunity is less than a week out from landing. I read last night that they plan to park Spirit for 3 days after Opportunity lands so that the NASA staff is not overwhelmed.

Also, if you are interested, NASA is going to do some kind of special on the science learned so far from Spirit, hosted by the one and only "Bill Nye the science guy". There will be commentary from the Huston Museum of Natural Science and also from Spirit Mission team members. It is set to start in 30 minutes (3PM EST). It can be watched via the net on NASA TV. Real Player is required. The link and more information can be found here:

Don't know what the deal is with their programming.
It was supposed to come on at three.

I really don't understand why they are so slow on their coverage. I compare this to pathfinder and my memory of that was a lot more information, faster .

I just hate to see NASA miss out on the opportunity this presents to boost their position.
Their coverage on NASA TV is still kid oriented, ISS coverage etc played over and over again, too bad.

I need some help with these images, and I wish that I could put side by side by side (3) images together and to place arrows to objects & unknowns... I will try my best, so please forgive me....
