While focusing on Home Plate, I checked out the "Where are the rovers now" page yesterday on the JPL rover site. If you look closely to the attached file, the issued picture quote xxxxNew MexicoXXXX on the back and to the right of the picture. Very close and on top of where "New Mexico" is written there is a place (approx 5-600 m to the east of HP), that remind me a picture from the Huygens probe on Titan. It's a kind of a small "river delta". My best guess for sure is that it has been done by dust devil, but why dust devils will unit this way? It doesn't make sense to me. Did somebody ever sew this ? (use 204kB definition to see it).

Welcome to the forum, climber!
Here you have two pictures about this same area. The first is part of MOC image S12-00095 (same as in my current route map and JPL's traverse maps) while the second one is a crop from MOC image R02-00357 (which I have been using during a long time on the route map). The delta/ridges/features which can be seen on the first can be hardly seen on the second; there is something there, but it's difficult to identify. Whatever it is -- and my guess is for something wind related -- could it be seen from current nav/pancam imagery? Edited: Nix, our posts seems to have crossed. Let me double check some L7 imagery I have somewhere here... |
