minus-squarepaulhammond5155@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months ago Is that tire patterns in the top left corner? They are small ripples in the soft sand between rocks, if you look in the NavCam images of the workspace on sol 1254 you can see many more examples. These ripples are formed by the wind (aeolian process).
