On a side note, on MSL we have "Solidays", a non-planning day when we transition from restricted Sols to non-restricted Sols. I wonder if this word together with "Tosol", "Yestersol" will ever make it to the Webster's Dictionary. I definitely use them more often than "selfie". ;-)

QUOTE (James Sorenson @ Jan 1 2014, 09:58 PM) My version of the Sol-494 360 degree M34 panorama. Fantastic, thank you! I'd love to see this panorama in Photosynth, or any other 360-degree "look around" site. (Although I think Photosynth only accepts panoramas assembled in Microsoft ICE.) As a "throwback Thursday", here's my Photosynth panorama at Curiosity's landing site (images from Sols 3 and 13): http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=872fae...a8-b9e4abcdec5a Here's another one, a self-portrait from Sol 177: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=28b089...42-b9553ab01066 -------------------- Curiosity rover panoramas: http://www.facebook.com/CuriosityRoverPanoramas

Some impatience, yes. Nervous? Not before Wednesday next week.
Btw.: How long lasts a week-equivalent (if unique) on Mars?

Still the holiday season, all...relax.

Sol 502 Update On Curiosity From USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Back to Full Science Operations
QUOTE The MSL rover completed the relatively light set of activities planned for the recent holiday, and is now ready to resume full science operations. The Sol 502 plan includes lots of ChemCam and Mastcam observations, plus some RMI images of the right-side wheels.
During the holiday break from tactical operations, I was happy to help John Grotzinger finalize his excellent new blog. I'm expecting that MSL will continue to produce such interesting results in 2014! -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

That is really nice work, Vitaliy.
What's up with the bright glints on the rightmost side of this rock? I wonder if it's bright underneath the dust? Or is it just a sun angle effect? Also: What's up with the changes of plane in the laminations of this rock? Is it just some layers weathering and then tilting after weathering? It's doing a good impression of those plane changes being primary features. -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
