Sols 4266-4267: Happy 'Landiversary,' Inquisitiveness

.After the typical morning regimen of doing some engineering housework, Curiosity continues to take some remote control science reviews. Our company take a ChemCam LIBS monitoring and also a Mastcam image of the "Peeler Pond" intended, a dark, nodular aim at that looks more erosion-resistant than close-by rocks. By contrasting Peeler Pond to "Kings Gulch" (which likewise possesses some nodules), the scientific research group may manage to identify even more concerning their relative make-ups. ChemCam likewise takes RMI photos of the Kings Gulch punch tailings. There is likewise a ChemCam RMI mosaic of Gediz Vallis as well as a Mastcam of the "Heavens High Pond" aim at, which is a stone with a grey finishing. The final point in this particular science block is a photo down the CheMin inlet prior to we deliver sample to the instrument. After a long snooze, in the late afternoon our experts have the first aspect of a huge Mastcam mosaic of "Turning point Optimal" network down payments and our team add some more structures to our continuous 360-degree scenery.
