From here are some higher-quality rear HazCam and front HazCam left-right sets. Any idea what the dark (apparently-)linear features are to either side of the rear hazcam images are? They're about half-way up the image and on the far edges of both. I originally thought it might be some out-of-focus instrumentation on the rover, but they don't show up in other rear hazcam images, and the left-right set doesn't seem to show the sort of displacement one would expect if they weren't actual surface features on the ground.

Thanks for posting these.

They appear to be real features on the ground - compare the one on the right with the dark rock near its left tip. In other frames they should be out of the frame due to the change in perspective. I'm guessing they're blast features from the landing. |
