Sols 4266-4267: Happy 'Landiversary,' Curiosity

.After the standard early morning routine of doing some engineering home cleaning, Inquisitiveness remains to take some remote science observations. Our team take a ChemCam LIBS observation as well as a Mastcam image of the "Peeler Lake" target, a dim, nodular aim at that seems more erosion-resistant than close-by stones. Through comparing Peeler Pond to "Kings Gulch" (which likewise possesses some nodules), the scientific research staff might manage to figure out even more regarding their relative compositions. ChemCam also takes RMI photos of the Kings Gulch pierce tailings. There is also a ChemCam RMI mosaic of Gediz Vallis as well as a Mastcam of the "Skies High Pond" aim at, which is actually a rock with a gray finish. The last point in this scientific research block is a picture down the CheMin inlet before our experts supply sample to the instrument. After a long nap, in the overdue afternoon our experts possess the first part of a big Mastcam variety of "Landmark Peak" network deposits and also our company include some additional structures to our ongoing 360-degree panorama. This overdue mid-day lighting fixtures aids highlight layers and also appearances. Our team likewise have our typical DAN and REMS monitorings throughout the program.
