I wonder if those dark patches are where the lander bounced before coming to rest? I read the other day that the bounce points were darkened by the impact.

I can't find my source, but earlier today I DID in fact read a blurb underneath that same photo you posted, that explained that the two black areas in that smooth-looking depression are where the MER bounced just before coming to a stop where it did. The same source also said that scientists were eager to make that area one of Spirit's destinations...

Do they have the ability for movie images? It would be interesting to show a martian wind blowing across the sand.
