We take a ChemCam LIBS monitoring as well as a Mastcam photo of the "Peeler Pond" intended, a darkened, nodular aim at that seems more erosion-resistant than close-by rocks. By contrasting Peeler Lake to "Kings Gulch" (which likewise has some nodules), the scientific research crew may be able to figure out even more regarding their relative structures. ChemCam also takes RMI images of the Kings Gulch bore tailings. There is actually also a ChemCam RMI variety of Gediz Vallis as well as a Mastcam of the "Skies High Pond" intended, which is a rock with a grey finishing. The final point within this scientific research block is a picture down the CheMin inlet prior to our experts deliver sample to the instrument.
