Don't mean to compete against the Home Sweet Home thread, but I thought I'd put together a summary of the main observations and points discussed so far with regard to Home Plate, especially now that the thread is almost 20 pages long. I wouldn't be surprised that even after we eventually get the spectroscopy data, we'll probably still have a way to go before we get a handle on the origin of Home Plate.
So, anyways, I hope everybody finds the post of some use. The link is on my homepage. Cheers, Aldo.

Is there any information about composition of the HP? Why is everybody so obsessed with pretty pictures? Spirit has scientific instruments other than cameras, and I'm sure they were used on the HP rocks. My guess is the information is so sensational that it will be presented on a press-conference, just like finding past water by Opportunity was.

QUOTE (Pavel @ Feb 22 2006, 10:02 PM)  My guess is.. My guess is that they'll still trying to understand the MI images, the PC images, the TES data and the MB and APXS spectra to make the best interpretation of what they'll looking at. Things gont get answered by a single spectrum - they take context, understanding and interpretation. Doug |
