Time for a new thread.
After moving southwards for ages, the "detour" by the western path has started with a 60+ meters drive on sol 1942. There are no images yet --they should be available on the next update-- so this image was calculated solely based on the rover's mobility info. I'll update the route map later. |

Yeah, I noticed the apparent blueberry size constraints on BI too, Shaka. My best guess is that IF they were put there by ejecta then the big 'uns tend to get blown off more easily since they present more surface area to the wind. The little ones are concentrated in the hollows.
Easy way to check that idea, maybe: Is there an enrichment of larger blueberries immediately surrounding BI? -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
