Are we also getting video back from these rovers? The still imagery is amazing but it would be cool to see those dust devils blowing around.

They saw “a Martian sundial”? Then how did they have the technology to build those big tank-thingies that Tom Cruise had to fight? Sundials. Big whoop. When the Martians build a good ten dollar watch, then I’ll get excited.

Some of the larger, more or less flat-topped rocks, especially the big one at the far right of the scan appear to have striations on the surface. On earth we see these as evidence of glaciation... What could cause that on Mars?

There clearly are distant mountains on the horizon. What is the distance?

I wish Ihad the individual frames. I think they could be adjusted to flow seamlessly.
