It looks like a loose rock that is blacker and rougher than the material of Home Plate and so we wanted to spend some time checking that out. |
It really depends on the specific mission and whether you know enough to give those smarts. It certainly is a new tool for scientists. |
Our rover might not last that long. |
Putting all the clues together -- the mineral, chemical and textural clues -- we have found good evidence that there was ground water. |
The images provide measurements of surface features and are allowing us to assess the slopes more carefully and develop a map of where the good slopes will be to have our solar panels in a good position. |
We're interested in finding out whether that bright rim material is the same as the outcrop rock or something different. It may have a different water story. |
When you look at this image you can really say that Spirit has found some interesting stuff. |
