Nice postcard view looking north towards the Gale Crater rim, taken post-drive a few hours ago tosol (Sol 3864).

Last week on sol 3837, the Curiosity team used the LEDs on the MAHLI camera for the first time in a long time to do a nighttime observation. Because of the dust in Mars’ atmosphere, daytime photos have a more redder appearance than they would under a white light. Well, it just so happens that MAHLI has some white light LEDs, which when used at night give you a great chance to see things in their true color as you’d see them if you were holding them yourself now.

Sol 3834 MAHLI view of the new Ubajara drill hole. The Curiosity rover is just wrapping up the Ubajara (uba-JAR-ah) drill campaign having successfully delivered samples to the SAM and ChemIn instruments. It’s mostly been slow for me on the engineering cameras, but I was able to work with the env scientists to look for dust devils (spoiler: there were none).

A new drill hole from the Mars Curiosity Rover, done over the weekend. While drilling, a few chunks fractured off and now I really want to flip that large one off and have a look underneath.

I’m curious: to me, looking at these cross-eye stereograms so that they “pop” in 3-D feels to me very like bringing the old Magic Eye pics into view.
Anyone else noticed this?
