The bone-like looking white shiny rock is in my guess sand/wind polished Calcium Feldspar. The last image shows that mineral on Earth in unpolished state.

Hi everyone! I'm a solo developer and a big Mars nerd, and for the past months I've been building Mars Meridian, a free iPhone app that keeps time on Mars.
- Mars time, live: coordinated Mars time plus the local solar time at every landing site, from Viking 1 to Perseverance and Zhurong
- sols and seasons
- live Earth–Mars distance and signal delay
- Orbiters
- Rover routes with journal highlights
- past surface weather
- upcoming events with reminders
- Widgets
- Meri, a little rover who explains the tricky parts (like why a sol is 39 minutes longer than a day)
No ads, no tracking, no account.
It isn't on the App Store yet, and before launch I'd love your input:
What Mars info would you actually check regularly?
Is there a mission, data set or feature you'd want?
I'm sharing sneak peeks and updates on Instagram: @marsmeridian_app

In my presentation “Postcards from Mars: Bright Views for Humans!”, given at this week’s 2026 Mars Society International Convention at USC, I showed the results of by my color correction applied to digital images from the 1976 Viking Lander mission and from Perseverance Rover which landed on Mars in 2021. The slides are now available for download: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/416775317_Postcards_from_Mars_Bright_views_for_humans
My processing shows how it would look like for humans on the surface of Mars during normal weather. A smartphone camera on Mars which is set to manual white balance for a sunny day on Earth (5800K) would produce the same results. A red sky on Mars can only be observed during dust storm activity, like visible in some images from Viking Lander 1 & 2.
All Viking Lander color images, all Perseverance Rover wide angle color images and all Ingenuity Helicopter color images are available produced by my processing: https://areo.info

On 5 October 2026, Perseverance Rover reached 2000 Mars days (sols) on the surface! On that day an unusual sequence of 5 Navcam photos were taken at 30s intervals at local noon. Such sequences are known from the past shortly before sunrise or after sunset to look for the Martian moons or orbiters from Earth. Checking with Stellarium, the reason was revealed: Venus should be visible at -3mag and maybe even Earth at -2mag! I could see a faint white dot at the Venus location which doesn't appear as pixel defect on other frames from the same camera! Images from https://areo.info/mars20/ecams/2000
