Wow 300 images captured by Curiosity to build a panoramic survey at her Sol 4175 location, ten days ago. This video show them at a rate of 10/second. It took about 50 minutes for the rover to complete this scan with her left mast camera.
This discovery shows that these #sediments were formed in a river, a delta or near the shore of an ancient lake. It raises questions about #oxydation processes on Mars... and reinforces the hypothesis of past #habitability...

The Web Development Glossary books and website just received a facelift and additional content!
If you purchased the book and don’t get updates automatically, the new version (1.1.118) should be worth a manual re-download. For website users, the site just caught up with the book again:
Check out this Martian panorama, captured by Curiosity two days ago, on Sol 4174. It is made of 50 adjacent images, each 1328x1184 pixels. Let's go for some zooms👇
The most surprising revelation from NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover — that methane is seeping from the surface of Gale Crater — has scientists scratching their heads.
#KurzGesagt:
Die EU verbietet anonyme Barzahlungen über 3000 €, Barzahlungen
über 10 000 € sollen komplett verboten werden. Im Video erklären
wir #Piraten, was dieser EU-Krieg gegen das Bargeld bedeutet.
EU bans anonymous cash payments over € 3000 in business
transactions, cash payments over €10,000 are banned altogether.
Anonymous hosted cryptocurrency wallets will be prohibited, too.
Curiosity finds odd rocks with "dragon scales" texture.
"We have seen a lot of layered rocks over the last 12 years on Mars, but these ones really stand out by the dizzying pattern they trace on the rock surfaces."
@pomarede Way back before launch JPL were reviewing the various candidate landing sites for MSL they had a series of workshops, some of those were shared with the public. I remember well the MSL Gale crater workshop and a few of the locations that it would potentially visit. The Gediz Vallis Channel (where the rover is now) has been high on my wish list since those pre-launch days, and here we are now. Here is a the map (three views) of the 4152 location before the 22.4 meter drive on 4155.
How much does a solar eclipse dim daylight on Mars?
The animation shows #Curiosity's capture of a solar eclipse by Phobos on March 25, 2019 (Sol 2358). Phobos is small and does not fully cover the disk of the sun, so dimming is noticeable but not comparable to that of a total eclipse on Earth.
There's a reason their climate videos for example give completely undeserved weight to Direct Air Capture and other tech-based Carbon Capture "solutions" that are mythical at best.
There's a reason OpenPhilantropy, one of the biggest orgs pushing "Effective Altruism", keeps showering them with cash.
