That really does look like a meteorite! From the update, it is called Mustards Island.

That really does look like a meteorite! From the update, it is called Mustards Island. Only one ChemCam-RMI image of Mustard Island came down (so far), so looks like it was not zapped, even though it was inside the range of the laser, so I guess we'll never know for sure, but I'm still calling it a meteorite EDIT: strike that comment, they did zap it LINK and that zap took the laser hits above 500k |
