At 18:57:30 UTC the Mastcam Right captured this truly unique rock!
Also this rock should be strongly eroded, instead it shows a crazy complexity of detail with very strange perfectly orthogonal intersections.
I would really like to hear the opinion of a geologist who can explain to me how such morphologies can form; what geological phenomenon can create such a shape?
The original image is a black and white encoding of the Bayer mask that has been converted to color through a process called “debayering” or “demosaicing”. In addition, the photo has undergone noise reduction due to Jpeg compression, white balance and a slight increase in microcontrast and color saturation in order to make the colors more similar to what the human eye would see.
