question-circle Curiosity Sol 1033 Composite: Partially Buried and Broken Martian Artifacts?

8 years 6 months ago #5473 by Todd
This is a composite image made from three Curiosity right mastcam images taken on Sol 1033 while the rover was on the drive to "Missoula." There are large pieces of broken stone half buried into the hillside that appear to have shaping and possible relief carving on them. The images were processed from the PDS raw DRCL .img files, enhanced enlargements at the bottom..



A strange, roughly rectangular, piece buried diagonally (below) that might have been part of an enlarged stone structure, notice the "compartments" at the top.



The appearance of broken structure surround a pile of bizarrely shaped content that almost looks as if it's "spilling" out of the small crevasse (below).



Something weird going on here, behind the brown blob, that is. ;)

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
