SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the unique geological features observed in the 360° view of the Perseverance Rover on Mars. Participants highlight the possibility of "rootless cones," a geological formation found on both Mars and Iceland, and speculate on the nature of certain formations, questioning whether they are rock outcrops or piles of sand. Additionally, a link to a related resource from the European Space Agency (ESA) is mentioned, which discusses dust storms on Mars. Technical issues regarding access to the resource are also noted, emphasizing the importance of secure connections for viewing scientific content.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Martian geology, specifically "rootless cones."
- Familiarity with the Perseverance Rover's capabilities and mission objectives.

I couldn't quite make out whether it was some kind of rock outcrop or a pile of loose stones/sand.pinball1970 said:

Link isn't working for me -- says that it's a secure connection. Do you have to be associated with ASU to have access?Keith_McClary said:

I have no idea whether that's what it is. My first thought was a dune seen sideways.neilparker62 said:

That error message indicates that the encryption that the site uses (the 's' in https://) is not matched with any encryption your browser uses.berkeman said:
That particular site also has a non-encrypted address (note the lack of the 's'):
