There is something in the “before” picture at the same location as the thing in the after picture, with a similar outline. What if the equivalent of a mushroom has popped up? This definitely deserves a closer look.

Yeah, why haven’t they taken a lot of pictures of this rock, aren’t they the least bit curious about it? Seems a little odd to me! Or is there something else going on here!

Looks to be the not so rare bird crap hitting the New Mexico Desert where this is being played out.

There is debris moved at about 6:30 and 1-foot from the teleported blue crab shell.
Two rocks in the left pic, moved in the right pic together.

Look up the explanation for “sailing stones” in deserts. Something similar here maybe, but wouldn’t have to be water freezing and thawing, Not sure of the actual temps where this is at on Mars.

Incredible - ten years and still operational. I wonder how many miles it has put on its odometer up there.

Not very many, but it was definitely not expected to last this long.

It’s this guy:

The late Arthur C. Clarke claimed that geological features seen from Martian orbit were “banyan trees”, and that too was nuttery.
