question-circle Spirit Rover Sol 241: Interlocking Blocks?

8 years 5 months ago #5907 by Todd
This image was taken by Spirit Rover's panoramic camera on sol 241. The protruding object on the ground at center looks like it might have a row of square blocks integrated within it. The "blocks" look designed to interlock with the other part of the object and they appear to have notches at the top, especially visible on the left. This image was processed from the PDS raw .img files and stacked for RGB color, enlargement below.

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!
