Hi all,
Like every morning, I've just checked the latest info on the pancam web looking for the current and immediate future imaging plan and ... Stay tuned and start Alt-F5'ing the exploratorium page at 19:35 UTC or so because today might be the day. Sol 1291 is a driving sol! |

How can the entry surface of Duck Bay is so smooth, no boulders or stones? It seems that something has ironed it.

Endurance was as smooth as this, wasn'it? Yes, indeed, Endurance's lateral surface is similar to Victoria's bay (no Capes). This case puzzles me about these stones were laid down as smooth as possible. The only idea that is arised in my mind: "When that place was so hot soon after an asteroid had impacted. It was like a magma and the left stones from the asteroid impact were able to accommodate to the Mars' gravity." |
