Why not link to the NASA page directly? I really don't see how the blog adds anything. Here it is with some high quality images: http://www.nasa.gov/jpl/mer/rock-pinnacle-island-pia17761/in...

I usually go straight into comments to get a direct link to the story or a print page.

Very little else has moved: it should therefore be simple enough to deduce which direction the rock came from?

Actually I can't immediately identify any other difference. Very weird!

It’s a new before-after image, but it’s very similar to the old before-after image, for example: http://www.space.com/24330-mars-rover-mystery-rock-appears.h... There is no new information here.

Sol 3540 is January 8th, so these aren't newer than the old photos. Nice color, though.
