Looks like the new bright stuff churned up by Spirit has gotten the attention from the PI on Mount Itacha biggrin.gif

So what is this new stuff (which we have named Arad)? The same kind of salt? Something different? Similar concentration or even saltier? It was too tempting a target to pass up, and we're going to spend the weekend doing IDD work on it before moving on.

Every once in a while the raw images come down with reasonably similar exposures (I guess that's the reason.) and you can make a decently colored composite that doesn't suffer too much from the "blue plague." Here is a false color pancam of the churned area. There are five or six differently colored materials here. One of them is a violet or rose-colored material. Is this the purple stuff you mentioned, Bill?
