Just to put it in my calendar: Is it possible to already determine at what time exactly the landing will happen? Does anybody know?

Once lifted in the atmosphere, clay-sized particles stay there for a very long time, mixed up by the wind again and again and spread all over the planet. The sand falls down immediately. Remember there is no rain to wash out the atmosphere.

Sorry, Paolo, but I can't imagine even a storm cleaning the solar cells.
I never had a clean car after I ran the German Autobahn.

My idea:
First the wheels of Opportunity had loosen the little rock out of the ground, increasing its wind attack surface.
Second step is the wind that came and blew it down the slope.
Do we have any knowledge about the weight of this piece?
And what about wind speed during the last sols?

Edit: sorry, did want to reduce image size but didn't know how.
