What is the gravity on Mars?

Do we know what the gravity is like on Mars? The reason I ask is because a rock such as the one in this photograph is 'perched' at a very steep angle and I was wondering if this is due to the differ...

Communal project and information site ideas

OK, this is not necessarily a Mars-only project, but we could start out with it being this perhaps and design it for other areas of investigation too. I do not know if it is do-able or even whether I want to get involved with this kind of large on-going project. I am trying to address some of the downfalls...

Rover gets in a scuffle

Check out all the smudge tampering around these messed up tracks. I suspect there were some footprints. It looks like something drug the rover for a while. It was on relatively flat land. The entire series of pictures from sol 1041 up to these nav cam shots from 1051. They're hiding something on hill...

This is a new program that I am developing which seems to be working out quite well. However, there ARE limitations. The image is altered by taking the value of the greyscale pixel and multiplying it - so do not rely on it or post it as 'gospel'. It is only to show what can be extracted from the pixel colours...

(Preview)
This is an enhancement of the sky on one of the hazcam photos. It seems that these things are artifacts. Maybe not all of them, but they are certainly there in my software or in the photograph and I do not think that they can be in the sky! A shame but appears to be true.

I realise this thread does not have images in it ....yet but I thought it would be a good idea to focus for a moment on what we have found from looking at all these photographs. It is all very well analysing the pictures, but we have to be doing it to come to some conclusion (as well as enjoyment, of course). ...
