Foggy horizon... (1) - Sol 813

Spirit is basking in the Sun, relatively speaking, on a 10,8°, North-facing slope in Gusev Crater on Mars. After turning away from the Rover's previous heading toward "McCool Hill" last week, Spirit started driving toward a nearby area known as "Low Ridge Haven" and arrived there over the weekend. Because rover drivers were able to get Spirit to a place where the solar panels tilt more steeply toward the Sun, the Rover's power output increased by 50 to 60 watt-hours per Sol.
That gives the Rover enough energy for about 1 (one) hour of daytime remote science.
