Opportunity and Endurance

Opportunity and Endurance

No, I'm not blogging about the Calgary Flames this time.

Instead, I'm talking about the Mars rover Opportunity, which has been cleared to enter Endurance Crater. This crater is deeper than Eagle crater where Opportunity first landed, and therefore exposes much deeper and older rocks. This will give NASA the chance to find out what came before the salty sea evidenced in Eagle.

My prediction: there will be even more fossils found in Endurance, further bolstering Charles Shults's theory. By the way, Chip will be on Coast to Coast with Art Bell on Sunday night.
