This is track degradation after just one sol.

Also the reason the tread design has altered patterns is so the tracks leave behind Morse Code spelling "JPL."

I think the differences between the examples you provide are based on camera perspective, since various patches of the ground in that area are not level but vary in angle.

Guys, back to the old question......is the rover really on Mars? The second set of tracks opens up all possibilities.

Yeah, it's there. I'll wait til I see an 18-wheeler drive by to think it's not. :P

Whichever explanation requires the fewest assumptions is the scientific one, FWIW.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
