Sols 4266-4267: Pleased 'Landiversary,' Curiosity

.After the normal early morning regimen of performing some engineering housekeeping, Curiosity remains to take some distant science reviews. Our experts take a ChemCam LIBS review as well as a Mastcam photo of the "Peeler Lake" aim at, a dim, nodular intended that looks even more erosion-resistant than close-by stones. Through contrasting Peeler Pond to "Kings Gulch" (which likewise possesses some blemishes), the scientific research group may have the capacity to figure out more concerning their relative make-ups. ChemCam also takes RMI images of the Kings Gulch punch tailings. There is actually additionally a ChemCam RMI variety of Gediz Vallis and a Mastcam of the "Heavens High Pond" intended, which is a stone with a gray layer. The final trait in this scientific research block is actually a picture down the CheMin inlet before our experts provide example to the instrument. After a long nap, in the overdue afternoon our team have the very first aspect of a large Mastcam mosaic of "Milestone Height" stations down payments as well as our experts include some even more frames to our recurring 360-degree scenery. This late mid-day lighting helps highlight layers and also structures. Our team likewise possess our normal DAN and also REMS observations throughout the planning.
