Censorship or loss of data?

[technovative]

This is the first time that I've found a Curiosity image that appears to have been redacted.

mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/proj/msl/redops/ods/surface/sol/00417/opgs/edr/ncam/NLB_434517061EDR_F0180578NCAM00461M_.JPG

This is the thumbnail for the same image and you can see there is no data missing from the frame.

The object that would have been most prominent, an edge of of which can teasingly be seen at the stepped portion of the blackout seems to be a focus of interest to someone as it has been photographed from multiple angles, with the Navcams and Mastcam on multiple successive Sols. The object can be seen in this next Navcam image from a greater distance and largely shadowed. It will be the most prominent object near center of the image.

The object can be seen from a different angle in this white-balanced crop from a Mastcam image captured Sol 413.

This object is grouped with some other objects of interest and this area has been photographed further in Sols 416 & 417. Below are two more crops from the same image. These objects appear to be very deteriorated hollow shell structures.

The portion of the image that was originally blacked out is now visible. Now that it is I realize that this frame was taken to the left of the object that I referenced as being photographed from multiple angles.

Hello Technovative. You state these ( anomalies ) as " very deteriorated hollow shell structures " and this is correct, as a reconstruction/extrapolation of all the similarly hollow debris pieces lying about do inform of a once complete unit .. a constructed " shell ". At some unknown time, perhaps eons ago, some-thing slammed into the sands of Mars with considerable speed .. and violence, and the view we now see before us is of its shattered remains.

Your post is exemplary for its neat and concise presentation .. just thought to give an acknowledgement .. and some encouragement to your work here. Again, watch out for the ever present obstacle of obfuscation too .. as it can be quite tricky .. and misleading at times. Cheers and .. Good Hunting. -M

(Sorry Technovative, but I could not manage to send this to every one
could you please do this for me, thank you !)


Hello everybody.

Mars Explorer Rover Mission Opportunity

RAW Images vertical structure with a white
area to its immediate left
I was not here for ages and thought to come back
if only to show all of you a peculiarity I have
been following for some 20 months, with regards to :

Mars Explorer Rover Mission Opportunity

RAW Images vertical structure with a white
area to its immediate left on each photo, until...

Please retutn and find the

No
2666 second row, last image to the right
enlarge max. see about half, up the hill

2668 first row, three first images
mountain to the right, again look up about
half way up hill

2670 last full image row, 2 last image to the right
same mountain and place

2674 last full image row, 2 last image to the rightme



And, since about 15 months or so, the closer Opportunity
was getting -Nasa Gods- started doing their acts of erasing,
or when it is also called -brushing- and the horizontal
structure I refer to is nowhere to be seen since, (or have I
missed something ?

Please sdvise me if you think that either correct or wrong

In the past I had found a much more clear image !

morbius, thanks for the acknowledgment and encouragement.

Hello Tech, and thanks for the reply. I always have, and always will, give some encouragement and example to the sincere anomaly researcher .. such as you represent .. and are. It is not a field of study for everyone, but for special people. Thus, these are a special people to me, as our numbers seem to slowly decline and sometimes I feel we are the last Jedi Knights of the Old Order and near extinct now. But be that as it may, I would be glad to see your work posted anytime .. and give my honest opinion as well. Cheers /-M
