In summary: Rootless cones" are found on Mars and Iceland.In summary, the conversation discusses an interesting feature found while panning through the Perseverance 360 on Mars, potentially caused by sand settling after a swirl. The topic then shifts to the discovery of "rootless cones" on Mars and Iceland, along with issues accessing a link to further information. One participant expresses interest in the geology of the feature, while another mentions a possible alternative interpretation. The conversation ends with a technical discussion about encryption on a website.

I couldn't quite make out whether it was some kind of rock outcrop or a pile of loose stones/sand.pinball1970 said:

Link isn't working for me -- says that it's a secure connection. Do you have to be associated with ASU to have access?Keith_McClary said:

I have no idea whether that's what it is. My first thought was a dune seen sideways.neilparker62 said:

That error message indicates that the encryption that the site uses (the 's' in https://) is not matched with any encryption your browser uses.berkeman said:
That particular site also has a non-encrypted address (note the lack of the 's'):

FAQ: Exploring the Perseverance Rover with a 360° View
What is the purpose of the Perseverance Rover?
The Perseverance Rover is a robotic vehicle sent to Mars by NASA to explore the Martian surface, collect samples, and search for signs of past microbial life.
How does the 360° view feature work?
The 360° view feature allows users to see a full panoramic view of the rover's surroundings on Mars. This is made possible by stitching together multiple images taken by the rover's cameras and creating a seamless, interactive view.
What type of technology does the Perseverance Rover use?
The Perseverance Rover is equipped with advanced technology including cameras, spectrometers, and a drill to collect samples. It also has a radioisotope power system to provide energy for its operations on Mars.
How long will the Perseverance Rover be on Mars?
The Perseverance Rover is expected to operate on Mars for at least one Mars year, which is equivalent to about 687 Earth days. However, it is designed to last much longer and could potentially operate for several years.
What are the potential benefits of the Perseverance Rover mission?
The Perseverance Rover mission has several potential benefits, including advancing our understanding of Mars and its potential for past or present life, testing new technologies for future missions, and paving the way for human exploration of Mars.
