... a brief mention of "new rock":


Is "New Rock" another meteorite?

Staring at SFJCody's jpg of the google-map, I noticed what appears to be a relatively recent small impact crater ~500m to our south. I made a few notes to the map, with a guess to where we might be going after the recent rock-a-palooza:

Any chance it'll be Oppy's cruise stage?

I would expect that the cruise stage would be downrange of the landing ellipse.

We finally have full 360 degree navcam coverage on this site. And here's our "lost" rock.

Does anyone need to go to the toilet? Yes, ok, then let us get a nice sight all around it...

Isn't there a significant similarity between these meteorites. Holed and broken-like. Is Oppy able to get an accurate enough measurement to conclude that they are of the same (identical) composite?

Man, this rocks cross space to sit there for ages waiting for us, just to prevent us to put the pedal to the metal...let's just say that they have a strange sense of humour... smile.gif

And yes climber...2000 it is! 2000 posts of pure cookiness, hope you enjoyed them as much as I... rolleyes.gif

According to the data we should be pretty close to it (the accuracy here is questionable, though).


Looks like the tracking data was pretty accurate after all.

And here's our "lost" rock.

Sure enough! And only 2.9 metres away. Impressive targetting after a 64 metre drive (even if they missed it in the first sequences). At that distance I measure about 32 cm across, though I think it's a fair bit wider in the other direction.
