[漢羅] 火星面頂 ê 岩石：鱷魚的尻脊骿

這款 去予風雕出來 ê 岩石，to̍h 叫做風稜石。 咱會當 tī 火星 Gale 隕石坑 Sharp 山跤，寬闊毋閣有小可仔崎 ê 平原 看著伊。 好奇號探測車 tī 第 3415 工 (2022 年 3 月 15) ê 火星任務內底，用 Mastcam 翕幾若張相片，才閣用數位方式 kā 鬥做一張。 相片內底有翕著一个叫做 鱷魚的尻脊骿 ê 岩石，伊看起來粗皮粗皮，敢若是有鱗仝款。 探測車進前捌行到 鱷魚的尻脊骿 ê 岩石遐，結果伊 ê 車輪煞歹去。 為著欲予探測車繼續 peh-山，好奇號團隊決定探測車愛翻頭，行另外一條路。 好奇號自 2014 年 to̍h 開始 peh Gale 隕石坑 中央彼个 5.5 公里懸 ê 山。 伊那 peh，to̍h 那會當研究 火星幾若十億年前，由水形成 ê 沉積層。

[English] The Gator-back Rocks of Mars

Wind-sharpened rocks known as ventifacts, cover this broad sloping plain in the foot hills of Mount Sharp, Gale crater, Mars. Dubbed gator-back rocks their rugged, scaly appearance is captured in these digitally stitched Mastcam frames from the Curiosity rover on mission sol 3,415 (March 15, 2022). Driving over gator-back rocks before has resulted in damage to the rover’s wheels, so Curiosity team members decided to turn around and take another path to continue the rover’s climb. Curiosity has been on an ascent of Gale crater’s central 5.5 kilometer high mountain since 2014. As it climbs, its been able to study layers shaped by water on Mars billions of years ago.
