    Summary

    Description
    English: Resistant Features in "Pahrump Hills" Outcrop

    This image from the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows an example of a type of geometrically distinctive feature that researchers are examining at a mudstone outcrop at the base of Mount Sharp.

    These features on the "Pahrump Hills" outcrop are accumulations of erosion-resistant materials. Similar-appearing features on Earth form when shallow bodies of water begin to evaporate and minerals precipitate from the concentrated brines.

    The width of the image covers about nine-tenths of an inch (2.2 centimeters) of the rock surface. This is a merged-focus image product combining information from multiple MAHLI images taken on Sept. 23, 2014, during the 758th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars.

    MAHLI was built by Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the project's Curiosity rover.
    Polski: Oporne na erozję twory w odkrywce "Pahrump Hills"

    To zdjęcie kamery Mars Lens Imager ręcznie (MAHLI) zamontowanej na należącym do NASA marsjańskim łaziku Curiosity przedstawia przykład geometrycznie odróżniającego się tworu, który naukowcy badają w odkrywce mułowca u podstawy Mount Sharp.

    Właściwości odkrywki "Pahrump Hills" są nagromadzeniem materiałów odpornych na erozję. Podobnie wyglądają cechy form na Ziemi, gdy płytkie zbiorniki wodne zaczynają parować i minerały są wytrącane z stężonych solanek.

    Szerokość obrazu obejmuje około 2,2 cm powierzchni skalnej. Jest to połączony obraz łączący informacje z wielu obrazów kamery MACHLI wykonanych 23 września 2014, podczas 758 marsjańskiego dnia, pracy łazika Curiosity na Marsie.

    Kamera MAHLI została wykonana przez Malin Space Science Systems z San Diego. Należące do NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), będące wydziałem instytutu California Institute of Technology z Pasadeny, kieruje projektem Mars Science Laboratory Project dla należącego do NASA dyrektoriatu Science Mission Directorate z Washingtonu. JPL zaprojektował i wykonał łazik Curiosity.
