Their reporting is falling behind. Notice that Opportunity has scratched out another trench near the "gulley".

ALSO . . . they are nolonger posting all of their received pictures. I've suspected as much for some time. They used to include "offset" microscopic pictures from which 3-D pictures could be generated of their microscopic examinations. Those seem to have "dried up". Then on sol-091 they posted this press picture from Opportunitiy's pancam. It is not to be found amongst the pictures from sol-091 pan or navcam.

They ARE holding back pictures from the public.

Funding? . . . Proprietary considerations? I don't care why. I don't expect to "discover" and post "curiosities" ahead of NASA/JPL in the future.

Hmm..
They seem to have gotten upset about people noticing things in teh image that they didn't.
Like how some stuff seemed too structured to be from simple rock and nothing else.
