Lone Blue/Green Object in Curiosity Mastcam Sol 566 was created by Todd

A strange blue/green object visible in this Sol 566 Curiosity Mastcam image . Perhaps it is a meteor. Whatever it is, it's weird as usual. I altered the color and contrast for the enhancement to make it more visible, as the object is dim. Compare it to the original .

That looks like a uh...rock to me. But it's the only one like it that I see in the entire image. Whatever it is, it is a different color of material, and different shape, than everything around it.

I do lean towards it being a meteor, they can be extremely colorful and exotic. I've seen some sliced open that look like Monet paintings.

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!
