She's there! Opportunity drove down to the "Cook Haven" bright outcrops on Sol 3512.
Even better, news via Twitter that currents on the front right wheel are back to normal. Phew. |

It's intriguing though that it has a 'very unusual composition'. Does that mean that all the rock at this spot is 'very unusual' or that this particular rock is atypical of its surroundings? In the latter case we are twice fortunate that an unlikely case of wheel tiddlywinks happened to turn up a very unusual rock.
Personally I think everything points to this special rock being spring-loaded. It was primed to leap in the air as soon as anybody touched it. |
