Opportunity Images Skylab!
« on: May 14, 2011, 09:34:34 PM »
 The science team spied an interesting crater in the distance, so on Sol 2594 (May 12, 2011), Opportunity drove 72 meters (236 feet) to stop near the crater named Skylab for a brief imaging sequence before moving on with a drive planned for the next sol.

Looks like the crater is not old.

I'd have to agree! But it isn't within the months range... Or we'd probably see the ice. MRO imaged a crater formed between Jan and Sep '08. With ice revealed.
