Arie, van de Opportunity heb ik een keer 2 bestandjes gedownload van de Nasa site ‘Opportunity Maneuvers out of Sand Trap’ waarin je de wielen driftig te keer ziet gaan. Die wielen lijken anders maar ’t zou zomaar kunnen.
Ik heb geen idee wat voor oude rotzooi het is maar dit stond er:
Without the white balance processing added, the dark shadows on the object are lessened and the detail of that round orifice sticking out is beginning to be more revealed. As a raw color processed image, the object is now appearing to be an old manufactured part in the terrain notably the worse for wear likely due to age and sitting in the open for a long time. In other words, the equivalent of what most of us would refer to as old junk except that it is officially alleged to be on Mars.
The point being that now it looks a lot more like someone’s abandoned artificially manufactured equipment. Note that the orifice appears to be very round and of uniform thickness such as an exhaust or intake port or that a hose may have attached to. Further, like the orifice port the overall larger object appears to also be round. It is suggestive of a wheel or a hub of some kind. In fact, it may be a center hub for a hose of some kind that in prior functional times would have wrapped around the recessed center area.
The material we can see that is bulked up just above and around the orifice in the mid area may be a portion of badly deteriorated hose originally wrapped around this hub now heavily deteriorated. Note that what may be the top of the hub just above the deteriorated wrap appears to be slightly smaller in diameter than the lower base area. This could be a slight taper design feature that would have allowed hose with someone pulling on it to spill off of the hub rapidly. The poor condition of this equipment could be due to age out in the open environment and/or it could be due to a past destructive scenario like explosion or fire.
Oh, ze staan ook op YouTube zie ik!

Eergisteren weer eens geprobeerd om de Plejaden te filmen met de 40 mm oculair. Zelfs als ik uitzoom of wat meer afstand tussen oculair en camera houd lukt het me niet om het ’totaal plaatje’ te vangen. En ineens kreeg ik een idee! Ik denk dat het de volgende keer best wel eens zou kunnen werken. Ik heb op mijn verrekijker (8×40, Coron coated optics)
Ja…idd, ik zie het ook :-S In RAW Color is dat iets duidelijker. Ik vond het volgende:
Smooth and rounded rocks found by Curiosity likely rolled downstream for at least a few miles. They look like a broken sidewalk, but they are actually layers of exposed bedrock made of smaller fragments cemented together. They tell a story of a steady stream of flowing water about knee deep.
