Any idea what part of the craft that might be? RE: Mars Photos (from NASA) - Syne - Jan 21, 2026 Probably this instrument on its arm:
APXS can refer to the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer, a scientific instrument on Mars rovers (like Curiosity and the MER rovers Spirit/Opportunity) that analyzes the elemental composition of rocks and soil. RE: Mars Photos (from NASA) - Yazata - Jul 30, 2026 Panorama Closeup of unusual honeycomb patterns - the NASA scientists still aren't sure what caused them. Cool looking scenery RE: Mars Photos (from NASA) - confused2 - Jul 30, 2026 We (Earthlings) have fossils like that honeycomb..
