  • Mars Rover Opportunity Working at 'Matijevic Hill' Site 30 September 2012
    Mars rover Opportunity working at 'Matijevic Hill' site 30 September 2012 reminiscent of, but different from, the iron-rich spheres nicknamed "blueberries" at the rover's landing site nearly 22 driving miles ago (35 kilometers). The small spheres at Matijevic Hill have different composition and internal structure. Opportunity's science team is evaluating a range of possibilities for how they formed. The spheres are up to about an eighth of an inch (3 millimeters) in diameter. The "blueberries" found earlier are concretions formed by the action of mineral-laden water inside rocks, but that is only one of the ways nature can make small, rounded particles. One working hypothesis, out of several, is that the new-found spherules are also concretions but with a different Rock fins up to about 1 foot (30 centimeters) tall composition. Others include that they may be dominate this scene from the panoramic camera accretionary lapilli formed in volcanic ash eruptions, (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity.
