Those aren't blanked out. That is a photo made up of many smaller photos and those areas weren't photographed in detail yet.

I thought it was for privacy like street view although blurring usually will suffice. :D

My initial thought is that these photos were merged together from a bunch of shots that each had a different perspective due to the angle the shot was taken at such that if they put the photos side by side they would not look natural. I figure they had some kind of image mapping program that sets the photos right by twisting and distorting to align them to make them look "natural" which unfortauntely causes blind spots for a lack of a better term.

This 79-image mosaic was acquired by the 34-millimeter Mastcam over about an hour of time on Aug. 8, 2012 PDT (Aug. 9, 2012 EDT). The full mosaic consists of 130 1,200 by 1,200 pixel full-color images, but this version includes all the images that have been returned to Earth so far. The black areas indicate images not yet returned by the rover.
:awe:

The more secrets they have to remove from an image, the longer it takes to get it done.

I wonder if Nasa has infiltrated ATOT. seems many are trying to derail the thread with wild specalation. such as indycoltsfan (really a fan of indyco?) and Clamun.

we should watch what they say.

weird. they have a picture of mars yet they have some stuff blanked out. wonder what they have blocked?
South Park's theory of government conspiracy conspiracy.

1 - Start with real pictures.
2 - Blank out random pieces for no reason.
3 - Conspiracy theorists start talking about the pictures.
4 - More people end up seeing the pictures.
