In the upper left hand corner of this image, upon the little hill, it looks like a small tree or bush or something there, very dark figure. Anyone else see it or anyone else have a clearer image. (I haven't been thru the series, just to the original one from this post.

Doney dont give up on this yest as this is one of those great puzzles that we shoud look at closely.
Infact this is quite a spectacular find .... I quote from link supplies by FrutNut:

The rover's right-front wheel stopped turning about two weeks ago - apparently because of a broken circuit in the motor that powers the wheel. The same wheel had experienced a surge in current in 2004 but later returned to normal......

Remember the wheel thats locked. Fron right...important. I will post here the rest of this wonderful image later... JUST TO PUT IN MY STARTER.

1 Why is the right track, in image, tampered with? I'll be back in a few hours with the rest.

Just to say that JPL are pretty clever with this one and the public sucked it up...

Thanks Fruitnut!

That had to be hard on the motors and batteries!  At least my assumption was on track.
