In other words "We just came across a boat load of anomalies/artifacts and we can't hide them all and need more time."

So why are they using the ChemCam again to look at long range views???

Good question, it's got a laser so perhaps if they have a big enough sample, they can tell the composition from that distance. I know it carries at least 7 meters, perhaps they are pushing the hardware to see what they get, given that they have the extra time.

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!
