Ladies and gentleman, we have our first, awesome video of the scooped up Martian soil being shaken up by Curiosity's monster 8 newton vibs at 80Hz. These frames were supposed to be available on the raw image page but I guess the team wanted to be the first to show the fantastic results of the scoop exercise.
In the video above you can see the powdery material seemingly boiling over and more importantly we can't see any sizeable pebbles in the sample that can potentially harm the instruments. Go CHIMRA!
