Curiosity: Potential Anomalies (Update 01/2014)

Aleister
The Rover has crossed the sand dune. No sand worms, so it made it safely.

NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover has crossed a dune that stands across a gateway to a southwestward route favored by the rover team for driving to future science destinations.

After reaching the west side of the 3-foot-tall (1-meter-tall) dune today, the rover looked back at its tracks down the western slope.

What an absolutely amazing image. I wish all the NASA conspiracy guys would lay off them a bit and just take it in what we have done..we are roaming around on another planet, ANOTHER PLANET. blows my mind.

no worries was a reference to the spotting of the throne where blue it sat, but as it happens it turned out to be a sheit, we should have known earlier really Aleister and his eye for the ladys , sheesh I was only pointing out a shiny tube object ,and a square shadow .is amazing what can be missed , but yeah was spotted by Libertygal whilst doing her rendition below




then followed the wondefull discovery

I would like them to get down to a lower elevation in the old river bed. I'm looking for sponges, and there aren't any this high up on the hill.

maybe the airs a bit thinner, just a little to large a change and they get all uppity?. ah , they'll get there soon Blueshift , that's if the giant mountain dwelling clam doesn't swallow curiosity whole

If they were just in my imagination or a misinterpretation of light and shadow, and scattered randomly around, you'd think I'd see more of them everywhere. They were pretty localized. Hopefully there are more down the river.

kinda like the clams too, where did they or go to? the difference between water and wind erosion ? or suggestive evidence for lake/river dwelling life? , and now were in a hilly ridge region, tributary's ? the anticipation is excruciating . , wnd dammit , opportunity must have charged up the batters to take another couple of shots of the blood blue rock/ any news ?

Here's a better view of that "tile." I like how the little bits of rock formed around the edge.

reply to post by Blue Shift


you just reminded me of something I thought a little odd about that picture , asides from that tile , one sec


whilst I busy take a look at the rocks around it , the unusual coloring ,..maybe of the sands nearby

*edit*


return of the 3d eagles ?
would say that was sloppy manipulation if it was

because of the long thin tendrils..."river" did you look at the full picture? it looks just like a river down the road from me.

Not saying it is.

maybe the sun, with a weak magnetosphere , would this add mutation to the equation of evolution

Maybe, if you assume a significantly weaker magnetosphere. Got any reason to assume that?

in the deep end ,= harsher environmental conditions to evolve in

Harsher how?

But you see what's happening here? Evidence of even extremely primitive life on Mars, even if it no longer exists, would be huge. But that isn't enough is it? Gotta come up with reasons (without anything but speculation) why evolution could have proceeded at an accelerated rate. Enough so that critters could have evolved...and built statues.

Here's a different tile. This one is obviously more (or less) weathered.
