Look at the MI campaign on this puppy
 It's got to be a 4 x 4 frame MI mosaic http://qt.exploratorium.edu:16080/mars/spi...cam/2005-04-28/ Doug |

I'm curious about the "blue kryptonite". False color aside, its morphology is clearly different from the outcrop it's lying on (smoother for a start, implying newer? harder?) and it has odd swirly patterns on top. Can anyone suggest an origin? volcanic ejecta? meteorite fragment ?
And besides, if you look at earlier photos of the same rock, it appears to have a pretzel glued to one end ... http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/pa...HEP2280L7M1.JPG -------------------- Popper: A party entertainment, filled with confetti and a small explosive charge.

It took me a while to put my finger on it. There is not sediment around it. With all the dust and sand blowing around and the protected area under the rock, it should quickly gather dust around the base. This hasn't been there very long. Does anybody have context images? I'll bet it broke loose from an outcrop that is just out of frame. Not very long ago. |
