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. |

Block Island seems to be sitting on the flat, rocky layer of Meridiani like it was just placed there. If BI at some point had been buried in layers since eroded away, I would expect to see it either sitting in a depression or up on a pedestal. On the other hand, I don't see how it could drop on the surface as it is with no sign of an impact mark. No depression or pedestal to indicate layers being eroded from around BI, no sign of an impact on the current surface.... I'm confused. There is a part of pedestal visible on the lower left, the rest may be hidden under the ripple. Easier to see in this R721 image |
