Despite the fact that I should be doing some actual - you know - work - I couldn't resist checking for more dust activity. Here's a nice one from sol 1997:
(changed the order of the 3 images so the composite is at the bottom). Recall I'm subtracting one image from another. The dust clouds are bright, so in two raw images we would see a bright feature moving left to right. Here the second is turned dark by inverting the shading. Each bright-dark pair is one object moving. There are 4 timesteps in the sequence with good features in all 4. And here are some cloud shadows from sol 1998:
The sequence of 3 steps shows the shadows moving, and faintly shows clouds moving above the horizon as well. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Just a short drive on sol 2020 - I will update the map later. It carried us back to look at a rock which was passed on sol 2014.
In this plot the 2014 and 2017 drives are in yellow and the 2020 drive is in red. The base image is Damia's image from 2017 in circular form. Phil

Nice work Damia! I love these ripples...
Here are two photomontages of RMI zooming on veiny rocks. First is Askival but I don't know the name of the second one. Does someones know its name?

QUOTE (neo56 @ Apr 17 2018, 07:39 PM)  Here are two photomontages of RMI zooming on veiny rocks. First is Askival but I don't know the name of the second one. Does someones know its name? Wow. Looks like evaporites, layered reduced iron and fine veined quartz. Colors from clay pot orange to fired brick red, black and white. Any ideas on how you collect such a huge variety of rock types into one area? Is there a name for white knobby-gourd looking rock at 5'oclock in the 2nd picture? |

What looks like a long drive reported by Midnight Planets, Sol 2027 ~85.6m WNW. Duration was ~130 minutes, almost 10 meters downslope. Possibly retracing the path that will take the rover back to the exit ramp from the ridge. Haven't found the mission update for this sol yet
