ChemCam RMI of the 1.6 cm diameter drilled hole. Waiting for a mission update to tell us if enough sample was obtained...
Damn they reall done did put a hole 1/3 the size of the whole planet in there.
Spoiler
In the preview i thought it was a pic of Mars
That's where my brain immediately went as well!
For some reason In thought this was a planetary shot and my brain short circuited. Thought we were planet cracking for a second. ... ... ... Make Us Whole
The RMI is basically a fancy telescope, hence the rounder images, its depth of field is also very small, so on target like this they often appear larger :)
That's no moon...
