On sol 1082 Oppy took a curious looking Phobos eclipse sequence - the movement of Phobos looks odd, almost as if it changes direction! I think what happened was the sun was slightly overexposed (notice also how the sun is slightly elongated), and somehow that caused the weird apparent motion. Local time was around 14:25, frames are 3 seconds apart.

There are lots of rocks scattered around on the surface--more rocks from space?

Hard to say, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised...Meridiani seems more & more like the "Allan Hills" of Mars, but I bet the ice caps are even more fun!  Doug, thanks to you & JB for the enhancement of the eclipse sequence...makes sense now. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Another mini martian "strewn field" of fallen star stones for meteorite collectors here on Earth to drool over...

Sol1084, colorized stitch of 3 NavCam frames...
Lot of work to do this, I think was worth to do because this view is so beautiful!

Have we driven onto a "ray" or a streak? The ground seems very dark suddenly...

Not that I'm aware of. Perhaps this image was taken late in the evening?
On another topic, 1087 is a driving sol.  Curiously, the imaging plan includes a sequence (front_hazcam_wheel_sub_256x256_4_bpp_pri_19) which was *only* used before in three events: stuck at Purgatory, stuck at northern Erebus, and stuck at Jammerbugt. No, I'm not saying the rover is stuck. It might be related to the new driving technics. CODE 01087 p0695 03 10 0 0 10 0 20 navcam_5x1_az_162_3_bpp

They've found a way for Oppy to turn in place.

Dangerous games to play next to a cliff! Fortunately Oppy doesn't have a sense of balance or direction like us petty humans

Have the JPL seen Richard Long walks in the desert? Richard Long is a Land-Art artist who draw geometrical figure in deserts with his feets, rocks or many material found in the desert. Details : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Long_%28artist%29 -------------------- |

Oh man!
 If a drive some days ago was called the "drunken sailor walk", how would you call this? |
