MARS: CURIOSITY u krateru GALE Vol II.

Nemam informacija što uzrok ovoga...djelujemi kao posljedica proklizavanje vozila.

Vrtanje je završeno...

Gledajuć ovo gore  ne možeš ne pomisliti na fosil...U svakom slučaju
radi se o složenoj strukturi čija "utroba" je bila neotpornija na marsove vremenske ne/prilike.

Sols 2673-2675: Ongoing Analyses at Hutton

Curiosity is parked at the “Hutton” drill site, just below the contact with the overlying Greenheugh pediment. After a successful drill last week, the rover has been focused on ongoing analyses of the drill sample and further characterization of this site. Yesterday’s activities focused on the drop off of sample to CheMin and CheMin analysis, and today’s plan includes recharge, remote sensing, and SAM preconditioning to prepare for delivery of a portion of the drilled sample to SAM in the weekend plan.
Today we planned three sols because there is no uplink tomorrow. The plan kicks off with a recharge sol and overnight SAM atmospheric observation. The second sol includes a number of ChemCam observations to assess the chemistry of an interesting vein at “Dunbartonshire,” and float rocks that might be from the overlying pediment-capping unit. We also planned an RMI mosaic of “Southern Uplands” to document sedimentary structures in a nearby cliff face. The environmental monitoring theme group planned a Navcam observation to search for dust devils and a Mastcam tau observation to measure the optical depth of the atmosphere at sunset. Overnight, SAM will carry out preconditioning to prepare for sample delivery in the weekend plan. The third sol includes additional ChemCam observations to characterize a vein and bedrock, and associated Mastcam documentation. As the SOWG Chair today it was a fun and straightforward plan – I think the team is eager to find out the first results from CheMin and deliver some sample to SAM!

Svašta se tu može vidjeti, a malo je odgovoa na pitanje štoto vidimo...

Za foto iznad vidio sam ovako pitanje:

It looks like a triceratops, isn't it?

Objašnjenje za boldano: 

A large quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaur living at the end of the Cretaceous period,
having a massive head with two large horns, a smaller horn on the beaked snout, and a bony frill above the neck.
"The bronze skull of a triceratops is five feet high, seven feet long and weighs a ton."

Zašto ne.

Sol 149, nedaleko od mjesta gdje se Curiosity spustio.
Naziv područja je  Glenelg.

U očekivanju novosti od Curiosity evo nešto manje poznato  u javnosti.
Radi se o snimcima SOVIET VENERA LANDERA.
