This FReeper would direct the reader to view these two pieces of photographic evidence suggesting that the rocks presently under examination by Opportunity included a liquid process (not necessairily H2O) in their formation.
Notice the center of the fractured "spherule" . . . the dark central spot . . .
Secondly, notice the hint of hexagonal structure in this spherule stereo 3-d . . .

I hope that my "gut" is mistaken, but I'll not be surprised to see this wealth of photographic public domain evidence "dry up".

Actually I'm a lot less interested in the spheres than the odd slits in the rock.

The rover has been doing a lot of science work at night, and the season on Mars is changing to winter, so the rover has less energy to work with than it did earlier in the mission. The martian days are getting shorter and the sun angle is not allowing either rover to power up the solar panels as much as in the past. It sure would have been nice if someone at NASA would have had the foresight to put RTGs on these things instead of these lousy, clunky solar panels. That's one thing you have to say about those nuclear power sources, they keep on cranking out the juice, night or day, winter, spring, summer, or fall.

Phil, I noticed there were 8 pairs of images taken of that hexagon-spherule. Looks like it has attracted some interest at JPL....

FWIW, when I've done 3-D pictures I've done them three in a row (Right-Left-Right). That way, I can cross my eyes at the two on the left and the folks that learned on the Magic Eye walleyed stereo images can use the two on the right.

I've done them three in a row (Right-Left-Right). I've done that at times. But on occasion the third picture gets kicked down to the next line on screens with lower resolution. Plus . . . un . . . I'm in a rut . . .

Have you seen mention ANYWHERE BUT HERE the suggestion of hexagonal structure?

I give up..I can't cross my eyes or "unfocus" as if daydreaming!

Have you tried a cardboard (12-16"sq) divider on the seam with your nose on the near edge? It took me a week, but when it finally happened I soon got to the point where my eyes would go to it rather easily. Practice on the long strip with the sphere. That one is little easier to snap into focus.
NEVER, EVER GIVE UP!!!
