• by HMB6EQUJ5

  APF0001dmt shows bright spot on one of the spider legs. apparently an exposed surface after sublimation. possible boulder?

  Bad pixel I sadly think, 😦 as I would love to get a clear example of a boulder in Giza for my collection. ~Pete

  I read it as a small depression rather than a boulder or bad pixel.

  Anya and Michael have said that previous things that look like that are glitches image artifacts/glitches, but I could see how it looks like a boulder.

  Think that there may be something there It's from an image with a stereo pair - taken a month later, there's still something there in the twin albeit a lot less bright later image on the left)

  Maybe a bit of frost? Will be hard to tell, but there are likely more images of the area becoming public soon. Giza and Ithaca have 5 Mars years of observations.

  I thought frost, seems to be more than a single pixel

  thanks wassock for the images. i'm not savvy enough on researching in archives to see if the same HiRise lat/long (during sublimation if possible) is archived. certainly would be interesting to look back and see. many thanks.
