Thanks, Patrick -- here it is. When I lightened it, it lost a little definition in the upper parts, but overall it's easier to see. Best wishes, JoeE
Thank you, Patrick. When Opportunity does its trenching, I hope the scientists will zero in for close-ups of some spheres, which are certain to be knocked around. What if they are elongated and have a sort of root system? That would make my day! -- Best wishes, Joe
The microscopic views I thought were strange were from Opportunity's Sol 14. Now they have made microscopic images of the rock outcrop, posted under Sol 15 at this site: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/opportunity.html Some are really odd, especially the last couple. Best wishes, Joe
Even the microscopic views sure look like the results of wind erosion to me. The more I look at them, the more I think the spherules could be micro-tektites or similar products of volcanism or impact, even micro-meteorites. I bet they are ubiquitous on the surface thanks to the winds. C. --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:
