Sols 4266-4267: Satisfied 'Landiversary,' Curiosity

.After the standard morning regimen of doing some design housekeeping, Curiosity remains to take some distant science monitorings. Our company take a ChemCam LIBS observation as well as a Mastcam image of the "Peeler Pond" aim at, a dark, nodular aim at that looks much more erosion-resistant than neighboring stones. Through comparing Peeler Lake to "Kings Gulch" (which also possesses some nodules), the scientific research crew may manage to establish more regarding their relative compositions. ChemCam also takes RMI images of the Kings Gulch punch tailings. There is actually also a ChemCam RMI mosaic of Gediz Vallis and a Mastcam of the "Sky High Lake" target, which is a stone along with a grey finish. The last factor within this scientific research block is an image down the CheMin inlet just before our company supply sample to the tool. After a long nap, in the overdue mid-day our experts have the initial part of a huge Mastcam mosaic of "Turning point Height" channel deposits and also our team incorporate some more structures to our recurring 360-degree view. This late afternoon lighting helps highlight coatings and also structures. Our company also possess our usual DAN as well as REMS monitorings throughout the planning.
