We are getting close to learning something about the "Soil" on Mars!
Note: This occurred during the session and I'm just getting around to posting it.
The Curiosity rover is preparing to scoop up samples from the ground around it:
"To begin preparations for a first scoop, the rover used one of its wheels Wednesday to scuff the soil to expose fresh material.
Next, the rover twice will scoop up some soil, shake it thoroughly
inside the sample-processing chambers to scrub the internal surfaces,
then discard the sample. Curiosity will scoop and shake a third measure
of soil and place it in an observation tray for inspection by cameras
mounted on the rover's mast."
