Mars Cam

It isn't live video. It seems to be somebody who took Curiosity rover video clips off the nasa-jpl website and spliced them together for a continuous youtube video. It gives a good idea of what the surface of another planet actually looks like. What look for all the world like sedimentary rock formations, talus slopes and all kinds of geological stuff.

Yaz.....with all the loose rocks laying at the bottom or even on the slopes of a hill, you would think we might see one actually in motion. Has it happened & been captured on camera?

I dunno, Z-man. I've never seen a video of a Martian landslide as it was happening, shot by a rover.

A web search turned up photos shot by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter from Mars orbit that supposedly show landslides right after they happened. The Insight Lander isn't a rover but has a sensitive Mars seismograph and weather station and it's picked up Mars quakes.

But no pictures of Mars rockslides happening. It's pretty clear from the Mars Cam video that they do happen, though. Probably often.

How about time lapse photography. Is there plans to have a TL Camera set up on the surface to detect any motion that may occur? Part of the payload for a future lander perhaps.
