Well, it seems Oppy is just as fascinated by “Homestake” as many of her fans and followers are! Today a whole bunch of colour filter images came back, allowing us to make the first half-decent colour views of this enigmatic feature. But before I show you mine, here’s a nice view of Oppy’s robot arm positioned above Homestake…
Sorry? You want a 3D view of that? Oh, alright…
Sooo… what about Homestake itself…? Well, why not ay hello for yourself? As we still haven’t much of a clue yet as to what Homestake is, I’m just going to post all the ‘portraits’ I made of Homestake today, and let the pictures speak for themselves…
But you don’t want to see those, you want to see Homestake in proper colour, I know… ok, ok, here you go…
Wow… look at that… look how it stands out against the surface! It’s so bright!
Some more views…
Have to be honest, I’m quite blown away by this feature, and I can’t wait to see it in more detail. Check back soon for more pictures!








Wow, Stu. Great pictures. I can’t wait to read some ideas as to what it might be. It looks like a vein in the rock but seems to be oriented in the wrong direction.
I wonder if the brush tool would be effective on it. I want to see how deep it goes.
Thank you. What an interesting feature.
“That looks like the remains of a wall built by early Martians…”
…is what I would say if I had no idea what these really were. Really, really interesting… so these things are proof of a wet ancient Mars?
Yep, features like this are typically left behind when minerals fill cracks left between other material in a wet and quite stable environment. That’s why Homestake is so fascinating!
