I know that a Martian sol is about 39 minutes longer than an Earth sol but to avoid error when trying to calculate what date sol 538 was in Earth date time I wonder if anyone knows what date sol 538 was or at least knows a link to a website that would let me find out, as I've tried searching for such a site but have not been able to readily find one.

Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

Thanks geckzilla and BMAONE23 for your help, which is appreciated. Based on images seen through the links it seems that the image was taken on February 9 2014 (depending on the actual time an image was taken sol 538 could also have been on February 10 2014).
