Seems like they managed to put dirt on the front hazcam lens on Spirit also ehh?

I don't know if this is related to the dust on the front hazcam or not, but thought it worth making a rare post! smile.gif

It looks like Spirit's tracks nearby have been quiet wind-scoured (in terms of what we've seen thus far anyway).

Before: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/na...00P1605L0M1.JPG

After: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/na...44P0775R0M1.JPG

I have not yet had time to dig through all the images on JPL or Exploratorium to find as close as possible when this happened (maybe latter today during lunch).

Cheers,



Pertinax

Pertinax: a very nice comment, thanks! Seems that sky is perturbated since Sol 414, and especially on sol 420 on Navcam images, isn't?
