Starting a new thread as we leave the landing site and start the drive around Seitah. It will probably be quite fast unless something interesting turns up in the ejecta of the craters along the path.
Here is a circular panorama for sol 379, already north of the landing site. Maybe there will be some drive-by shots of the landing site itself. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Sol 385 Mastcam-Z What could that bright thing on La Orotava crater wall be? A piece of Martian rock that was hurled here from elsewhere by a meteorite impact? Ejecta yes, but being situated on the crater wall probably home grown. With Séítah seemingly the remnant of a lava lake or magma chamber, fractional crystallization would have resulted in layering of olivine, plagioclase feldspar etc and the impact may have breached that level. One thing about the crater. Did it impact the boundary of Séítah before the crater floor was covered by lava, embaying the crater wall or after? Given that the Séítah side seems much more eroded I would punt for after. |
