Sols 4266-4267: Satisfied 'Landiversary,' Inquisitiveness

.After the common early morning routine of carrying out some design housekeeping, Curiosity remains to take some remote scientific research reviews. We take a ChemCam LIBS monitoring and a Mastcam image of the "Peeler Pond" intended, a dim, nodular aim at that looks a lot more erosion-resistant than neighboring stones. Through contrasting Peeler Lake to "Kings Canyon" (which likewise has some nodules), the science crew may be able to determine more about their family member make-ups. ChemCam likewise takes RMI photos of the Kings Gulch punch tailings. There is actually also a ChemCam RMI variety of Gediz Vallis and also a Mastcam of the "Skies High Pond" intended, which is actually a stone with a grey coating. The final factor in this science block is actually a picture down the CheMin inlet before our company provide sample to the equipment. After a lengthy nap, in the overdue mid-day we have the very first portion of a huge Mastcam mosaic of "Turning point Optimal" stations deposits and our experts include some more frameworks to our on-going 360-degree view. This late mid-day lighting helps highlight levels and also textures. Our experts likewise possess our typical DAN and REMS observations throughout the plan.
