It was already said that those structures seen on previous hazcam pics (well, in all sort of cameras and filters...) were delicate.

But what about these ones? It looks like the smallest touch could broke them.

Good idea. That topic was "tired" and had the cord showing. smile.gif biggrin.gif tongue.gif

Delicate, to be sure. One thing I've noticed is that the "ledge-forming" rocks are a layer and extend to the right and left of where we camped out. I wonder if that feature is related to the bluff at Mogollon Rim?

We need to check out the "mobile dust" at that site and see if there has been more movement during the stopover.

That's an internal refraction - the optics bouncing a little bit of the sun around. A lot of the solar images show it as well.

The is a refraction artifact but there is a lovely ring of clouds just above it that I don't think is an artifact. Very smoke ring like

I'm having to post and leave pronto, so I appologize for a brief post...

I've been facinated by the chance of spotting CO2 or water ice halo's in MER imagery. None have been spotted yet to my knowlege, and while hopefull I am doubtfull that Oppy's sol758's cloud imagery contains any either.

None the less, I thought a pair of 'brightenings' in Oppy's clouds were interesing enough to post in order to get some feedback (I hope).

Any thoughts?


(Thank you mhoward!)

I'm a meteorologist, but certainly no expert in atmospheric optics. But here's a great link to the best explanation of the subject that I know of on the web. Perhaps a detailed analysis of the photos would reveal whether the "brightening" you see corresponds with any of the parhelia features discussed in the link.
