Friday 12th October Sol 66

While we work at Rocknest with scooping, imaging and analyses, we take the chance to look down into Glenelg.  There is much discussion about what the landscape signifies but probably only the close up analyses using the robotic arm instruments will resolve the debates. 

 

Then felt I like some watcher of the skies

  When a new planet swims into his ken;

Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes

  He stared at the Pacific—and all his men

Look’d at each other with a wild surmise—

  Silent, upon a peak in Darien

John Keats, On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer
