stange... I think there is more craters, than meridiani. But beautiful photo. Why MGS don't take pictures from meridiani by same resolution? |

It has - these are much larger dunes and other features than at Meridiani - but that image is no higher res than the best images of Meridiani. I see. the image says it is 3 km wide, and there are about 100 dunes across the width, so the dunes here are on average 30 meters apart, whereas on Meridiani they seem to be three to five meters apart. So why would these be similar, but scaled so differently? different grain size, density, or cohesiveness? different prevailing wind speed? |
