Opportunity scores interplanetary hole in one

Well, Opportunity has landed on the opposite side of Mars from Spirit, and (for the moment, at least) appears to be in excellent health. It has landed in a small impact crater which will give it the opportunity to study different layers of the Martian soil without doing much digging, but is shallow enough so it can ultimately drive out and head for a larger crater nearby.

Let's see how long this one lasts.
