Home, Sweet Home, Dream becomes Reality Options

Yup - it's a 180 degree mosaic (after famous Negro League baseball player Josh Gibson - according to JB)

6 columns usually makes for 80º, Doug.

[djellison]

There's going to be 180 degrees of it once it's finished.


Trust me

First good closeup of the layered rocks..unfortunately half the pic is missing.

Pieces of a color pan arrived today, one fragment has already been posted. Here's a 3-frame pan. Bands used varied with available images, indicated in the file-name-addons, for example "257".
Hue has been adjusted to reduce ickiness of some band combinations, images contrast stretched and rather strongly sharpened.

Also that fragment of closeup pancam shot, contrast stretched and sharpened.

Oops.. forgot the second frame.

2 of the 3 color image of the edge of homeplate have matching right camera bands 2&1 color images, which result in color stereopairs.

I can't do stereo, so drool at 'm for me!

Thanks! You know, my eyes are getting old and I can no longer do the crossed-eyes trick as easily as I once could; being able to open and manipulate each stereo image independently (rather than as a set pair) makes the task much easier. With pre-grouped stereo pairs I usually have to sit about six feet away from the monitor to get the stereo effect, which sort of misses the point of stereo images.

We need teleportation on the next rover -

Then, we could just pick up a lot of these loose rocks and have them at JPL in 4 or 5 hours.

[Nix]

teleportation would be fine to me

That 180° Doug mentions should be terrific...

btw; Nice work Nirgal!

I cant do stereo either. Try these anaglyphs

I *CAN'T* do stereo, Period. Not even in real life.

My left eye was never correctable better than 20:200 due to amblyopia (Lazy-eye syndrom). Not an optics problem, but optic-nerve or brain discarding the non-aligned information. Analglyphs don't work either. I can play tricks with pictures like the flicker-pair stereo, but that's all.

About 10% of the population is stereo blind, comparable to the about 10% of the male population that is red-green color blind, adn the ?1 or 2?% that has some other color deficiency.

Anyway, I'm lobbing these out there for the folks that can get the benefit of both the color and the stereo. Wheee!

But, Ted, just imagine if you had this kind of vision:

Perhaps some Martians did....

Thanks for the pix, Ed.

Here is today's eyebrow-raiser: with the grayscale images, I/we were thinking that the light-toned layered rocks were the native in-place rocks and that the dark-toned layered rocks were the odd ones. But these color images show or suggest that the dark gray is the native color of the layered rocks and the light tone comes from from dust or an ochre coating on the rocks. This I can easily visualize. But what bothers me is how the dark rocks got cleaned. I guess that it could be selective cleaning or sandblasting by the wind, but the selective part is the puzzle.

We'll know more on the lithology soon. IDD at work.

Look at those fine, smooth layers on the face of the rock pointing to the camera. If I were on Earth, I'd think that was a water-lain sed for sure...in fact, I'd be looking for the f-word!

Aha! But here it is!

And what , pray tell, is it?
If it's sandstone, I don't see any grains .
If it's scoria, I don't see any gas spaces .
If threatened with torture, if I don't talk, I would quote a Past Maestro of Home Plate"  It's deja vu all over again! It's the kind of fabric Oppy has been sinking her abrasive into all over Meridiani!  Smooth-lumpy STUFF!
But a geologist would phrase it more ...esoterically.  

Great image. It has the appearance of something that flowed, then solidified.
It reminds me of some MI images taken by Opportunity in Meridiani. I suggested those in Meridiani were indications of sedimentary activity:

I can't think of any way of producing films or crusts like these other
than through liquid water deposition or biological activity:

You may need to rotate some of these images to properly view positive and negative relief.
