Le 1er avril, Curiosity a atteint le monticule Hinman Col, à gauche de l'image. Au centre du panorama, une rivière de sable remplit le lit d'une potentielle très ancienne coulée de boue serpentant dans Gediz Vallis. Le chemin du rover est bordé par des collines hautes de 100 m, Kukenán & Wilkerson.
To the Ends of the Earth: How Ancient Explorers, Scientists, and Traders Connected the World by Raimund J Schulz
To the Ends of the Earth is the first modern history of ancient exploration in over a century. Ranging from the Mediterranean Bronze Age to the third century CE, it reveals long-distance, explorative campaigning to be more than a mere ephemeral phenomenon of ancient history.

Le rover se dirige vers une zone riche en carbonates en longeant le lit asséché de la rivière Neretva.
L'horizon diffus témoigne que l'atmosphère est très poussiéreuse. Une tempête de poussière est en effet passé sur le cratère Jezero il y a quelques semaines. https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasappere/53617450798/in/dateposted-public/
Le rover Perseverance roule actuellement le long des rives de l'ancien fleuve Neretva Vallis, depuis bien longtemps asséché. On le voit qui serpente ici vers l'est. Au loin, le rempart du cratère Jezero se perd dans l'atmosphère poussiéreuse. https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasappere/
Over the past decade or so, researchers have found genetic evidence for contact between people in eastern Polynesia and those in coastal Peru and Colombia. Now archeologists studying the oldest settlement on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) have found physical evidence that islanders traveled to South America at least once and returned with food crops not known in Polynesia.
-Targeting puts the camera behind you
-Distance is based on target size (bigger = further)
-FoV adjusts when the cam can't move
-Right stick unlocks it
-When unlocked, it frames you + target!
It's high time we redefined "exploration:". It should NOT be about being big - drawing a map of something named after your sponsor, planting a flag, being "first". It should be about being small: sitting inside a system/place and learning how it works with humility, looking at the way it does things, not at what we see most easily or want to see. A map is not the end goal of exploration. It's just the tool that tells you where the starting point could be.
