Oh, look at that...
...and that's just a cropped raw, not messed about with.

Z-axis addicted I am. Seems like all I do of late is check for overlapping MC100's with good baseline differentials. The seven frames just down from Sol 42 overlap with a few frames from Sol 36 of the N. Mt. Sharp foothills. My jaw just dropped when I split the red-blue bands on this one:

I just LOVE these dusk (or dawn) panoramas.
 But these stretched images are ruining it. Sorry to make it a fix idea, but this was a really bad idea… Panorama edited to correct some exposure and stitching things. -------------------- |

A circular version of Ant's panorama from sol 44. I stretched it as I prefer for feature visibility.

Next stop - a fine-grained drift for testing the sampling system and other instruments... it's interesting that there are so few dust drifts here compared with other sites. Spirit would have passed dozens of big drifts by now. -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Just an impression, and based on my record it's almost certainly wrong...looks for all the world like an iron/nickel meteorite in this shot to me.

I can sure see why you say that, but it's hard to believe they wouldn't get a chemcam reading before doing the rest of the work and they did want a basalt. |

QUOTE (nprev @ Sep 24 2012, 08:05 PM) iron/nickel meteorite Hey now--that would account for some meltiness. Here's an Fe/Ni meteorite from Australia:
Also the large amount of dust adhering? Another photoshop-tortured treatment:
Question about the couple of cracks seen emanating up from the base: wouldn't a hard rock tend to fracture all the way through rather than stopping like that? -------------------- |

Vesicles (sp?) and a glassy or sand-polished exterior can make basaltic volcanics into a dead ringer for a meteorite with a fusion crust. No way that can be IDed from a photo alone. |

Sol 49 drive imaging is up, only about 2h after the fact on Mars. Looks like a rock garden: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/pr...NCAM00409M_.JPG
