More martian graffiti.

P,...S,F, and two alien drawings waving back, is all l can make out. No, surprise considering that they are a few rungs above us.

A few dust devils, hard to make out anything else in this reflective rock.

0551MR0022330340303867E01_D

True.

This is interesting, (my thanks for the individual telling me about it, another forum).

And also disappointing. I mean Mars with no atmosphere at the start, and half of the images finally showing how Mars really looks, (blue sky) and the other half the usual BS.

So Curiosity shows 50% blue sky, and normal looking rocks, and the other half, no blue sky, and red/orange everything.

While Opportunity and Spirit, with more than 10 years of images, (each) NEVER show one frickin blue sky image!

Bluish, grey is as close as they come, and all three use the exact same camera, and color charts.

Personally l am amazed that people can still think that Mars is dead, or that NASA is on the up and up.

All amateur telescopes show blue sky, as does Hubble, Which means whether we like it or not, Mars has an atmosphere similar to ours.

And as the above gaping, chasism issue shows, NASA are lying their brains out, (but at least they are telling the truth, 2% of the time).

The best l can do Spacenut, is to post this site.

Then scroll down til you reach, "Mast Camera (Mastcam)".

Then using the reference number go to the Sols, so "0551MR0022330210303854E01_D," is Sol 0551... or 551, then using the image run through those til you find it, (only look at the large, color images, l don't bother with the other stuff).

I tend to download all of the images then run through them when l can, which is for a short time, now and then, (l am running a pretty labor intensive online business).

Finally found something interesting. I initially found two pools of water, nothing that interesting about that, apart from the fact that Curiosity avoids it, when we should be seeing closeups?

But if you look more closely, there is a machine or a metal ring, and a water flow trough directing water to the lower section.

There is also some kind of scaffolding sticking up or across.

The other yellow thing on the left is probably the rovers reflection, (saw it elsewhere) but the  angled water trough, most likely not.

This is the first decent piece of evidence for some time that add's to Mars being wet, and some kind of intelligent life being there, (especially if the machinery shown is metal.

0551MR0022330210303854E01_D

After a bit of thought l saw that the metal ring is on both sides, so is most likely a gate of some kind.

Nothing much today, just part of Curiosity being reflected back to us, or the sun shining off part of the rover; l initially thought that it was a rock, but other ones showed me that it was part of the rover. Which shows again, that Mars has shiny rocks.

There have also been rumors that if someone see's something on Mars that should not be there, (like rain clouds) that they are labelled a conspirist.

Although l tend to use a more ponient label if l come across someone who see's clear evidence in front of them and dismisses it any way they can.

This is one of the best reflective rocks l have seen, and clearly show Curiosity in the distance, driving alone the martian surface.

There also appears to be a giant dust storm on the right, and the blue sky is unmistakable, (even on the red filter one, top image).

0551MR0022300350303822E01_D

And more green.

0551MR0022300310303818E01_D

The first, is Curiosity again, (block type thing) then the landscape, blue hills and sky, but the large white thing in the distance?

Best guess that it is a band of clouds rising over the distant hills, and these clouds are dark at the base, enough said.

0551MR0022300320303819E01_D

The second rock is a puzzle,....there seems to be a huge structure in the distance.

I computer enhanced it to make sure that it wasn't some freak clouds, but no, the CE clearly shows a giant structure of some kind.

Curiosity drives past the equivalent of an oil refinery, and we get zilch.

The world will be shocked when NASA finally owns up, except us of course.

This is interesting, not the reflected landscape, but the hollow rings. There seems to be three all up, and they are not present on the rover, (l checked) so that can be discounted. There also seems to be smoke coming from one of them but l believe it to be a dust devil.

0551MR0022300270303814E01_D

First one shows the usual water runoff.

0551MR0022300200303807E01_D

And this one shows Curiosity's camera torrent, nothing unusual about that, but look behind it!

0551MR0022300210303808E01_D

Yep, dark or grey clouds, or in other words rain clouds.

And NASA says nothing.

Another reflective rock, this one shows Curiosity, and its camera torrent, (the one taking this image) and the blue sky.
