  • Friday 14th December Sol 127

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on December 14, 2012 Some of the most extraordinary MastCam images so far.  We are seeing finely layered, continuous beds, with some cross bedded layers.

  • 1st May 2014 Sol 618

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on May 1, 2014 Here is a MastCam image of drilling in progress. This is the first ‘minidrill’ hole at Windjana.  You can see that Red Mars is only a very thin layer on the planet.

  • 5th August 2014 Sol 710

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on August 5, 2014 We are moving into a new sort of terrain as we enter Hidden Valley.  On this HiRISE image and the inset MAHLI image you can see the sand ripples that we are traversing.
