(9 of 9) This is the satellite view showing the locations of the rover and the variance in parallax. Note that MSL 3703 is far from the target (1.2 mi.) and yet, back to my original point, there is a wide shadow on the face of the formation. It seems to me that the opposite should be the case if the rover is so far away and off to the side. And now, once the rover is close to the formation (MSL 4217) with a nearly square, head-on view, all the sharp details and shadows disappear. It goes back to the question: If NASA obtained pictures of a structure, would they allow us to see it? Or would they obfuscate it in accordance with the recommendations from the Brookings Report?
