It was far enough to change the view of the rock from that of your sol59 to your sol86 images. Though you are right. I was misled by distortion on a Chem cam shot from for changes of the plane of a stone. P.S. Anaglifs for sol 88, 86-90 (large size 1,8 mb) and chem cam image for sol 91 -------------------- My blog on Patreon

The limited activity recently is explained here:

small 3x1 (maybe partial) Sol 87 pan:
I did enhance contrast so the colors might be off. Same region was shooted at Sol 64 but with other lighting. |

No, since if you look at other images taken at around that time, there was a image of the sun taken with the solar filter within 30 minutes of that one.
The brighter pixels would be hot pixels. -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

Via Twitter, it seems that sol 92 would have been a restricted sol but wound up a runout sol.
QUOTE @marstimrdad: sol 92 rover wakeup song: "Running Down the Dream"-Tom Petty-it's a runout sol...- #MSL @MarsCuriosity @tweetsoutloud
@elakdawalla: Now that @MarsCuriosity mission is on Earth time, some sols have to be planned 2 days in advance. Sol 92 is one of those, a "runout sol." @nivnac: @elakdawalla Do you mean "Restricted sol" or is 92 really a runout? @elakdawalla: @nivnac .@marstimrdad called it a "Runout sol" but I think you're right "restricted sol" is what was meant. But now I'm not sure. @earthrover_sw: @nivnac @elakdawalla It turned out to be both due to a minor problem discovered that caused us to not send commands (thus a runout sol) -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Yeah, there is no stars there, just hot pixels. I didn't recognize any constellation, and also, on each frame, this bright spots appear to be at the exact same place. so it's an artifact of the sensor.

Are there some stars visible in this picture ? You can easily see that this is a daylight image by checking Joe's msl image site. That shows the image was taken at 15:30 local time. |
