Nev’s gigapan of Sol 1077 is not only gorgeous; it is replete with any number of intriguing anomalies just awaiting discovery!

Today’s Context View opens open a vast plain, heavily-littered with stones and debris of all kinds. But very obviously over there on the right-hand side we see a lovely – and quite LARGE - hexagonal block, giving off that famous blue tint typical of so many stones and artifacts on Mars.

Going to our Detail View, you can see for yourself that this is mass of stone purposely-shaped into a hexagonal block. The edges are carefully and evenly beveled, the block showing significant battering as it no doubt tumbled into its present position. The shaded side reveals a central disk in bas-relief, indicated by the white arrow. Was this “button” a sort of centering device, locking pillar segments together? Is there a corresponding hollow on the other side? 

Once again the opportunity to learn more of this clearly artificial object is ignored! Regardless, the body of evidence has grown into thousands of images which will eventually cause NASA’s cabal-like secrecy to disintegrate.

“SO, HOW DO I VIEW X3D STEREO?” 

Simple! While viewing the stereo pair at a comfortable distance, gently cross your eyes (no eye-strain) until you perceive three images all the same width. The one in the center is in 3D. Just relax into it and your eyes will automatically bring it into focus. Once you have it, you will never forget how to do it. Kinda like riding a bicycle…
