What's with the recent Pancams of HP surface rocks scraped by the stuck wheel?
Reflections in some areas are so bright that the image flares dramatically. I've never seen this before from Mars rocks except in tiny spots on Comanche rock. Only man-made metal surfaces on the rovers and heat shields have dazzled like this. The flares occur in both the left and right cameras and also in some Navcam shots. What are these rocks made of that they would reflect so brightly? Can there be accidental overexposures under unusual light conditions? Can some "Image Mage" explain this as an artifact? -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!
