Get ready people! Almost there!-- Planetary 22:02, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I have decided to replace the anaglyph images. There are a number of reasons for this.
Also, see the comments on my talk page. -- Jbergquist 06:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
It doesn't matter for me, as I dont have the 3d glasses necessary to view those, anyway. I prefer color panoramas for this reason, appreciating Mars should be possible for anyone. --

Well, I don't. I never do online shopping of any kind, but if I find a physical store with them, I'd get them pretty quick. :)-- Planetary 23:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
That image is beyond awesome. I don't believe I've seen an image of Mars that showed details like this. The rover and even individual rocks! -- Riffsyphon1024 22:11, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
That's Victoria, not Endurance. :) Changed the title for you. It really is incredible, actually. How lucky I am to be alive in this day and age, when modern science can give us such incredible things.-- Planetary 23:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Um. Wish I could say something original, but can't. You can even see the rover tracks. Now to actually cut up the HiRISE image to add to the numerous stubs we have around here. MER-C 03:39, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
I've been wondering, is mentioning all the tiny craters actually notable? If it weren't on Mars I'd have wanted them deleted long ago. If you think about it, some random little crater out on the plains that Oppportunity visited for only a few days and didn't make any grand scientific accomplishments at isn't going to be talked about in 10 years. Emma Dean crater is the most obvious example, but so is Vostok crater. Eagle is obviously not applicable, but a long list of stub articles on every page about something notable ( Meridiani Planum, Victoria crater, Endurance crater, etc) doesn't look particularly encyclopedic to me. Hirise imaging will be the only improvement they ever get, unless somedecade they're worth mentioning on an Opportunity Trail page as intresting place to rest your weary legs. If the new photos are enough to remove them from stub article status, then keep them. If not, remove them. -- Planetary 05:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
I spoke too soon: Category:Rocks on Mars just doubled in size. MER-C 03:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I had to relegate the anaglyphs to the bottom of the page because for some strange reason the gallery made the references totally disappear. (Here's the old version: [1]). And I had to comment out the traverse map. Oh well. MER-C 12:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Just a quick heads up, the HiRISE image of Victoria will be picture of the day on January 14 next year. MER-C 13:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
What are people's thoughts on a page move to Victoria Crater? We could still keep an entry at Victoria (disambiguation). Is there some manual of style we should be following? -- Dgies 18:31, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
