Animated View from the Mars Rover

An anonymous reader writes "The Mars Spirit rover is within sight of the summit of Husband Hill, and it's looking out onto a vast plain where it caught sight of dust devils that are presented in a new animation of stills. Meanwhile, on NASA's site is a cool new panorama of 'Rub al Khali' taken by Opportunity." The science of the dust devils was covered previously on Slashdot.

Here is a nice (but exaggerated) color image on Marsdaily.com:

They sometimes process for color when Nasa doesn't bother to; possibly because Nasa has to answer questions about whether the color is accurate while blogs don't. The rover color filters used to take many images don't necessarily correponse to the human eye range because they are doing geology ahead of postcards.
