this feature just looks too laid-out & planned to be done by nature. I think it has some purpose; maybe a solar panel or could it be a hanger door?

Admittedly, it does look a bit strange. Any idea how it looks when zoomed in (don't know if there's a gigapan of this area or not)?

Ok I think this is the location closer in, on Sol 1192 - It features in the Large mosaic from this Sol;

Sorry if I have it wrong, just a few things line up / compare like the 2 "objects" on the Knoll next to the flatter 'Sand' (Regolith?) covered knoll.

Right - best get my head out of Mars, and into work... :whistle: :pinch:

Ha! Did you ever make it into work with any degree of lucidity? I'm retired so insomnia doesn't matter for me. :P

The center one of the 3 pictures you posted seems to have the best view ever of the "flat knoll". It still looks strange and makes one want to zoom in for a closer look.

Nice job!

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!
