Science Report
Henrik Hargitai Reporting
Biology: samples were collected from Harris Hills, the N side of the Collapsing Road site. They are polka-dotted, and some flanks are also orange colored. We suspect biological origin but it may also be made by a concretion-making process. The samples are now in the incubator. We have taken images to compare them with 2006 images. We have found large concave slopes of dried river valleys North of Harris Hills, we don't know how they were created since normally they should be convex. It may be caused by landslide, but there are at least 5 of them one after the other. Atmospheric phenomena: we have observed huge dust clouds and forming dust devils East of Skyline Rim. The mountains far away are blanketed by dust in the air. Maximum observed gust was 61 km/s during EVA 14.
