A beautiful white gravel path through the black dust and mini dunes. Black and white has true artistic merit.

During the rover's travels we've seen quite a number of long distance RMI ChemCam surveys of the base of Mt Sharp.

Can anyone recall a ChemCam mosaic including the area where the rover is stationed now? (Between Central and Western butte)

TIA, Paul

I'm doubtful - I think VRR would have been blocking Curi's view for most of its traverse. The rover's current position is about 20 m below VRR's ridgeline. Best chance would be checking the RMI mosaics taken from the top of VRR.

From our current location you can technically see the landing site....but the terrain from here to there, or vice versa, is so foreshortened that it's hard to pick out anything between VRR and the Greenheugh Pediment beyond.

It looks to my amature eyes that the blocky rock at the top is a kind of cap rock. Harder and more consolidated. I know it doesn't rain on mars but still....

The mission update for sols 2594-2596 mentions two potential meteorite targets. Probably these two:

We are making rapid progress here. Two circular panoramas made from Jan's original versions, for sols 2593 and 2595.

A mosaic of some pics taken by NavCam Left on sol 2595. I love the late afternoon lighting of the scene.

As I write this it is Curiosity's sol 2600 on Mars. This was going to be something of a milestone for me - the point where I stopped collecting material for my next Mars atlas. The plan was to stop at sol 2600 for Curiosity and sol 360 (two sols from now) for InSight. Then I would have a year to pull the book into shape and submit to the publisher at the end of 2020.

However, discussions with my publisher based on some referee comments have changed that. I will go on for 2 more years collecting data for Curiosity and InSight, and will get a start on the activities on Mars of Mars 2020 and anything else that makes it to the surface intact in 2021. The book will end somewhere near the end of 2021 and the manuscript will be submitted at the end of 2022.

Regardless of the time the book ends, mapping here will continue until I can't do it any more.

Phil
