SOL809-PIA08529.jpgSpirit like Opportunity: a Martian "Iron Meteorite" is found... (2) - Sol 80956 visiteCaption originale:"Rocks in the vicinity of Spirit's Winter Station are being assigned informal names honoring Antarctic research stations.
Zhong Shan is an Antarctic base established by China in 1989.
Allan Hills is a site where meteorites are frequently collected because they are relatively easy to see as dark rocks on the bright Antarctic ice. The most famous Allan Hills meteorite from Antarctica actually came from Mars and landed on Earth. If the Zhong Chang and Allan Hills rocks seen by Spirit do turn out to be iron-rich meteorites, they may have originated from an asteroid and landed on Mars.
This view is an approximately true-color rendering that combines images taken through the panoramic camera's 753-, 535- and 432-nanometer filters".

SOL810-PIA08440.jpgBoulders (approx. true colors) - Sol 81057 visiteCaption NASA originale:"As NASA's MER Spirit began collecting images for a 360° panorama of new terrain, the Rover captured this view of a dark boulder with an interesting surface texture. The boulder sits about 40 cm(approx. 16" - inches) tall on Martian sand about 5 mt (approx. 16 feet) away from Spirit. It is one of many dark, volcanic rock fragments - many pocked with rounded holes called vesicles - littering the slope of "Low Ridge." The rock surface facing the rover is similar in appearance to the surface texture on the outside of lava flows on Earth.
Spirit took this approximately true-color image with the PanCam on the rover's 810th Sol of exploring Mars (such as April, 13, 2006), using the camera's 753-, 535- and 432-nanometer filters".
