What about the propeller found around Saturn's rings?

@gungasnake,

If it's obvious why would it be hard to find?

I think it fell off Gunga Dim's beanie.

If it was obvious you wouldn't even have to say what it was, all you would have to do is say, "wow, look at the size of that thing" and people would know what you were talking about. Like this...

Notice how the Mars picture you provided contains no propeller at all. And how it's hard to strain your eyes enough even to imagine seeing one.

Notice how the following picture actually contains something so obvious that it doesn't need to be named. That's how it's done.

(I do however, appreciate that wonderful picture of Mars you provided. Even if it doesn't have any propellers in it. Thanks Smile

All I can see is a huge slice of Stilton.

@gungasnake,

Is it the thing near the burger van over on the right?

@Lordyaswas,

the little barchan dune on the left side of the photo is really cool. It means that really dry winds affect this area and that they are pretty much constant

@gungasnake,

I looked very hard and I couldn't see a marine propeller. Could you please point out where you can see it so obviously. I did however see the following if I squinted quite a bit: a Bellhop, a zipper, an anus, a dead cat, a bikini top, a damaged dianthus flower and Shaun the Sheep. I might not be able to find them again though.

@gungasnake,

Okay Gung (1) How big; (2) How many blades; (3) Does it have a hub

@dalehileman,

I have feeling he wont respond because my barchans dune was probably what he was taking to be a "boat prop".

I think I've found it.

Working from the left border, move across to roughly the 60% mark.

From the bottom, move up roughly 60%.

Where your imaginary lines cross looks like a Harland & Woolff Marine Rotor Blade series 324b.

@dalehileman,

Four blades, two very obvious and in reasonably good condition, hub in good condition, other two blades in less than good condition but still recognizable...

Starting from the top left in the foreground there's a mesa and then to the right of the mesa is a hill and the propeller id down just a bit from the bottom left of the hill.

@gungasnake,

are your directions purposely vague? /.

USE KEMPS COORDINATES to pinpoint the prop

@farmerman,

Here, read this and fix your directions:
