Looks like a boulder of mylonitic gneiss, well-rounded, so not from around here…

Once again nicely post-processed by NASA. The contrast and colors are very realistic ahum! Was the original not spectacular enough?

[The first time I saw it – low contrast.](https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/ZL0_1268_0779507161_206EBY_N0591914ZCAM03974_1100LMJ)

[The second time I saw it – high contrast.](https://old.reddit.com/r/spaceporn/comments/1fllps5/one_of_the_latest_sept_13_2024_photos_from_mars/?sort=confidence)

This third time I see it – contrast slider set all the way up to halfway across the galaxy.

Only God knows what it will look like once its done the rounds of social media and then come back. It’ll probably look like an actual Zebra, with idiots claiming it to be one.

Also… [on this episode of Mars Guy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZZnWnROzIU)

I played enough mars colony games to know that that is a small meteroid, and will contain some metals that are great at early game.

Oops, one of the set designers made a big mistake

I never know the scale or sizes of objects in pictures like this. How big is this rock?
