I was talking generally about vertical settling of particles from a surrounding medium - mud from water, dust from air - that's a fluid (not a liquid). So for instance, layer after layer of volcanic ash from Tharsis could be draped across the landscape, mimicking its topography in the local slope of each layer.

Hard to see in the Navcam images, but some of those layered rocks nearby look a lot like those around Homeplate.

Will today be the day we hear some results from the SAM TLS methane investigation? It has been put off for a few weeks so I have to believe that something important has happened. I would think these are the possible results:

You can see the rotation of Deimos? I don't think that is the case because Deimos is tidally locked.

Agreed. I think you're seeing JPEG noise.

was there a consensus as to whether the dark blotch just below the centre of the sun is a sunspot? it looks pretty convincing from these images.

If another reporter asks "when will we get to Glenelg" I'm going to scream! Yup! And it was a little depressing that many of the reporters from the major networks just wanted to hear about malfunctions right after EDL. They were practically begging for bad news. Some reporters ask dodgy questions but some ask really good questions. I know that it is going to be an informed question when I hear that it is Emily Lakdawalla or Irene Klotz from Reuters. Nadia Drake from Science News and Joe Palca from NPR also ask good questions. Leo Enright from Irish TV and Emily ask the most entertaining questions. |
