Sols 4325-4326: (Almost) Dipping Our Toes in the Sand

.If you review this blog site very frequently, you understand that virtually each time the wanderer picks up science, MAHLI and also APXS focus on intriguing (as well as accessible!) stones as intendeds. The wanderer science team is actually, nevertheless, built along with a bunch of geologists. However geology is actually not all rocks, continuously-- sand is previous stone that if buried and constrained long enough will become rock once again. Today was actually opportunity for sand to sparkle, as the work environment was cut by canals of sand of various colours and also illuminations, and also it had actually been almost five hundred sols due to the fact that our company obtained our last specialized sand dimension along with APXS as well as MAHLI. The "Pumice Flat" aim at was among the more beautiful sand spots while "Kidney Lake" was one of the darker sand spots. APXS uses an unique placement mode over sand intendeds so the musical instrument acquires close, but not also close, to the loose component which could possibly foul up the guitar. Not-rock was also the territory of our environmental monitorings. Navcam is booked for imaging finding clouds and also dirt adversaries, and adjustments in the sand and dirt on top of the wanderer deck. Each Navcam as well as Mastcam will definitely produce remarks to assess the volume of dust in the ambience. Rapid eye movements will definitely keep an eye on our weather condition with regular dimensions, RAD will certainly track our radiation environment, as well as DAN will look through rock for indications of water under our disk road.
