This fantastic new selfie has just been returned. It is a mosaic of images from MAHLI taken over our recent drill site at Buckskin. Buckskin has turned out to be very silica rich and very hydrated. They key to where the water is locked in the rocks will be in the detail of the ChemCam and CheMin analyses.
You can see more MAHLI images over Buckskin here:
