Aloha!
I couldn't help noticing some 'reflection highlights' on the surface of Comanche where it has been brushed clear of dust. These white vertical line 'glints' appear in a number of the MI views released on Exploratorium on 21 and 22 December. I don't remember seeing them before on Mars rock surfaces, only on metallic parts of the MERs themselves. Does this suggest an unusual crystalline or metallic component of Comanche? Steverino didn't mention them in his latest epistle, though he did say the rock was "different". Has anyone seen them before? Can any geologists explain them? -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!
