Looks like a nice day on Mars. Apart from it being -70C out.

Wheres the Gorn?
Looking for a big rock
I've been to the Vasquez Rocks where that was shot. It's right by a freeway that definitely also existed in the 60s. They had to use some very creative camera work in terms of where they pointed it. It's kind of impressive.
They're gorn.
So no Mr Bluesky on Mars?
If only he would tell us why he had to hide away, for so long :(
Where did we go wrong?
Mars has blue sunsets though.
Those clouds are doing a lot of talking in the picture on the right
That's how I figured which was which (I don't have the ability to quickly figure out left from right like most people have, so that left me time to play at guessing).
I don't have the ability to quickly figure out left from right
As a kid I used to use which wrist my watch was on as a reference (I couldn't tell right from left, but I did know which wrist to put it on, most of the time). Of course with smartphones being a thing I no longer use a watch, but at this point the brain seems to have learnt to do it automatically. A ring, or wristband, or something like that would also work, probably.
But even then... do they mean my right, or the screen's right..? Or the picture's..? I never know, and a watch won't help with that...
In my case I remember with which hand I use the mouse. But I never could get this to be automatic.
I still sometimes hold my hands in front of me and see which one makes a natural L shape with index finger and thumb.
Good to know I'm not alone with this "disability".
I dont know what camera they used but that zoom is crazy

Mars looks like Southern California in Star Trek in the 60s.
Says a lot for how much they were able to accomplish thematically with environments like that. Iconic
Mmmm that's some good choss! Do you happen to know where the photo on the right was taken? My geoguessr brain wants to put a pin on Kanab, Utah
I believe it's the Atacama desert in Chile, according to a reverse image search.
Woah, cool, I never would have guessed! I should have thought to use reverse image search, haha. Thanks!
It was harder to identify than I expected, because the article I found was from Chile, and my Spanish is rusty. Lol
If you find this interesting, you would probably enjoy the Mars Guy youtube channel. Weekly updates on the latest rovings of Perseverance.
Aeolian erosion do be like that though.
Idiots on Facebook are probably claiming that the image is fake, and using it as βproofβ that Mars doesnβt exist or something.
Ah, so Mars is socialist.
