After the usual morning routine of doing some engineering housekeeping, Curiosity continues to take some remote science observations. We take a ChemCam LIBS observation\u00a0 and a Mastcam image of the \u201cPeeler Lake\u201d target, a dark, nodular target that appears to be more erosion-resistant than nearby rocks. By comparing Peeler Lake to \u201cKings Canyon\u201d (which also has some nodules), the science team may be able to determine more about their relative compositions. ChemCam also takes RMI images of the Kings Canyon drill tailings. There is also a ChemCam RMI mosaic of Gediz Vallis and a Mastcam of the \u201cSky High Lake\u201d target, which is a rock with a gray coating. The last thing in this science block is an image down the CheMin inlet before we deliver sample to the instrument. After a long nap, in the late afternoon we have the first part of a large Mastcam mosaic of \u201cMilestone Peak\u201d channel deposits and we add some more frames to our ongoing 360-degree panorama. This late afternoon lighting helps highlight layers and textures. We also have our normal DAN and REMS observations throughout the plan.<\/p>\n
