Hi there,

I read this on the NASA.gov site. Last month a tall boulder rolled five hundred meters, and tilted upright. There is no actual explanation as to why, seismic movement? Possibly the breeze of the wind. unsure.gif

I found the whole event interesting as the location is void and empty. Reminds me a little of the Rover and the peble.

Okay, I got the point. Perhaps I would have liked a more science-driven release. For example, I would have liked to learn about the science target of this image (I know many HiRISE images have one)

Cheers
