The upsidedown landscape reflected in the chemcam just cinches it for me.... ... and in that upside down image we also see (presumably) the reflection of MAHLI. Now here's a question: When I peer hard at what I assume is the reflection of the MAHLI lens I can persuade myself I'm seeing something reflected in that too. Just a few pixels, and it's not clear what. Maybe I'm making it up. It's a bit of a mad idea but I'm sure if there's anything in it somebody here will sleuth it out. |

Beautiful work, guys! Another signature image in space exploration.
... and in that upside down image we also see (presumably) the reflection of MAHLI. Now here's a question: When I peer hard at what I assume is the reflection of the MAHLI lens I can persuade myself I'm seeing something reflected in that too. Chemcam is not pointing towards mahli - if it was we'd be looking into the chemcam aperture on-axis. Instead chemcam is looking above mahli. So we're not seeing the mahli lens reflected. It looks like we're looking pretty close to on-axis into MC34, but I can't see any reflection there. Can someone figure out what bit of the rover we're seeing reflected in one of the L navcam lens covers?
