Guys - get on the missing images - they're at the bottom: the rover wheel, to the left of that, etc...
Cool stuff.
Are you talking about the most exposed wheel in the 360? And if so, are you referring to the two dark spots that look sandier than rocky, where the depth looks screwed up, and also almost looks like a sandy path leading to the left where there is a white missing image?
This is ALL I am saying.
Yes - The rover wheel is new and so are all of the images from there to the left - and there may be more. And go look at NASA's version, come back and tell me which one has more images and which one was stitched better.
The white blocks are still missing images that are still not available. I did my best to get a high resolution panorama of Mars for you folks and so I can have something to do. I do not see any stitching problems on mine.
NASA still has not released a SOL 3 panorama that has the missing images. They were hidden on their server.
So that's it - I'm just saying check out the extra images. I didn't say or imply there is anything there.
Is that ok?edit on 8/16/2012 by impaired because: Spelling.

When you have a photo that you can PROVE to me was taken on the martian surface, I'll gladly consider, until then throw some ice in your kool aid bro, it helps!

Isn't the light visible spectrum hitting Mars the same as of Earth?
Unless Mars is lighted by a red dwarf sun, I can't see why all Mars pictures have faked reddish colors.
AWB should work as on Earth and should produce non-reddish pictures.

So now I ask the experts - is it really too crazy to think there could be fossils there? IF there were artifacts or fossils buried by the crust before the planet geologically died, then perhaps the crater impact (which put a 14,000 foot hole in the ground) dug for us?

I'm not an expert, but I have dug some fossils some 35 years ago, and, to me, that area doesn't look the best for fossils, unless they are below ground, as that area looks too "stable", with no great signs of erosion, so if there were conditions for fossilization a long time ago in that area, it doesn't look like it changed much, so the fossils are probably still (if they exist) covered by what created the fossilization.
The above sounds a little confusing, but I hope you understand what I mean.
PS: as it's off-topic I will not post the photo of my carcharodon megalodon (a giant prehistoric shark) tooth.

Damn. I wish we could see that tooth. Sounds awesome.
And I didn't know you were a geologist. Good stuff!

Click here.
(the size on the photo is more or less the real size)

I'm not a geologist, only a fan of geology. Maybe that's why I only see rocks on the photos from Mars and the Moon.
and you can spot over 5 of these black orbs in pairs of two or alone over the mountain skys

this website has some more stitching (70 odd pages of posts). I think "impaired" goes under the name iMPREPREX there and there is some sweet work going on.
BTW, I was watching Hurt Locker last night and boy did the landscape look like Mars, especially when they were pinned down in the desert by a sniper. Even the colours were similar...spooky. Just sayin' and not meaning anything.
