@TechSpatiales @yaoki_space_g @yaoki_space @TechSpatiales this is great!
The mission team is most interested in bringing out any feature that can be identified.
Summary of unknowns:
1. The main broken leg in the bottom center: confirm there is no sticker under the footpad anymore

1/N

[LouisJ Burtz @LouisJBurtz]

@TechSpatiales @yaoki_space_g @yaoki_space 2. On the right side: looks like a curled up sticker from under a footpad: confirm if it matches the Maryland/Arizona design (reference:
https://t.co/OEdeh9UCZN)
3. Above the curled up sticker: bright spot. Could it be a rock or something else?

2/N

[LouisJ Burtz @LouisJBurtz]

@TechSpatiales @yaoki_space_g @yaoki_space 4. On the bottom left side: what is this bright linear feature? Could it be another broken lander leg?
5. Brightly lit edge of the crater (top left): can any features be recognized? Any correspondance with the picture taken by the lander? (reference https://t.co/7WNjTWaigc)

3/N

[LouisJ Burtz @LouisJBurtz]

@TechSpatiales @yaoki_space_g @yaoki_space 6. The linear patterns on the crater floor that you identified. Can they be also seen in the lander image?

7. Some bright pixels. Dust or radiation strikes on the sensor?

8. Eye-pleasing picture for posterity: that combines processing for the dark and bright regions

🙏🙏
