This site is one of those brilliant ideas that's blindingly obvious in retrospect...

QUOTE (glennwsmith @ Nov 7 2009, 05:58 AM) And indeed, a meteorite IS ejecta, albeit from another body in the solar system . . . Does a meteorite have to be from another body? What about ejecta that go into solar orbit for a while before returning to impact their planet of origin? (Just a semantic query.) |

Hmmm... looking at Marquette and its surrounding rubble, I'm reminded of this scene from the edge of Victoria...
I think this stop will prove very interesting... -------------------- |

Is it possible to look up whether HiRISE or MOC imaged this region before? Can Fresh Crater be dated? |

I wonder if Opportunity could topple this rock. It would be interesting to look underneath.

Just an ejecta, like those cobbles we've seen at Victoria. No more interest for me.
Pictures. With a color of the Sol 2057 :  Anaglyph :  And the panoramic for Sol 2058 :

A huge great chunk of rock, that's clearly fallen out of the sky, scattering debris all around it... a slab of stone that looks like nothing else for literally miles around, sitting in the middle of the desert like a piece of martian modern art... a fat plate of dark ejecta that came from - where? When? Naah, nothing of interest at all... 
Really nice colour anaglyph Ant, by the way

I'm not sure about precise numbers, but I'd guess that "fresh crater" is a lot older than our presence in orbit. It's "fresh" in geological terms.Thanks all for the stunning pans/anaglyphs of Marquette! |
