So is "Coal Island" the outcrop of what, from a distance, looks as if it could be more vesicular basalt, or the transition from planar to cross stratified laminae in the left image?

This is the sol 3410 panorama posted by jvandriel (Thanks!) in a circular version. It gives a nice view of the tracks and surrounding features.

False color (very false) of the scarp from sol 3417. Interesting little 'red' pebbles here and there. Not really red of course.

I'm sure many of us were surprized at how close we got to Mulla Mulla. It turns out it really was a close call. From the latest PS update:
QUOTE While navigating the boulder field in mid-August, Opportunity apparently came frighteningly close to running into a boulder called Mulla Mulla. "It was a near miss," said Bill Nelson... "We could have easily collided with the rock and damaged the rover. Through sheer luck, we didn't." As it turned out, Opportunity didn't even so much suffer a scrape... But it might have been mission catastrophic... and it happened because of human error. "This is an operational error and it's a big deal," said Callas. As a result, the incident generated what is known as an Incident Surprise Anomaly (ISA) report. "We want to thoroughly understand why our process didn't catch it, because it should have. The issue stemmed from a mis-positioning of the 'keep out' zone around the rock. "In hindsight, if you look at it, you go - 'Oh yeah that 'keep out' zone wasn't positioned correctly.' But no one caught that," Callas said. Yikes! |
