By comparing Peeler Lake to "Kings Gulch" (which additionally has some blemishes), the scientific research staff may have the ability to calculate even more regarding their family member make-ups. ChemCam additionally takes RMI images of the Kings Gulch bore tailings. There is actually additionally a ChemCam RMI variety of Gediz Vallis and also a Mastcam of the "Heavens High Lake" intended, which is a rock with a grey finish.
