NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity catches its own late-afternoon shadow in
this dramatically lit view eastward across Endeavour Crater on Mars.
The rover used the panoramic camera (Pancam) between about 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. local Mars time to record images taken through different filters and combined into this mosaic view.
The rover used the panoramic camera (Pancam) between about 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. local Mars time to record images taken through different filters and combined into this mosaic view.
Most of the component images were recorded during the 2,888th Martian
day, or sol, of Opportunity's work on Mars (March 9, 2012). At that
time, Opportunity was spending low-solar-energy weeks of the Martian
winter at the Greeley Haven outcrop on the Cape York segment of
Endeavour's western rim. In order to give the mosaic a rectangular
aspect, some small parts of the edges of the mosaic and sky were filled
in with parts of an image acquired earlier as part of a 360-degree panorama from the same location.
Opportunity has been studying the western rim of Endeavour Crater since
arriving there in August 2011. This crater spans 14 miles (22
kilometers) in diameter, or about the same area as the city of Seattle.
This is more than 20 times wider than Victoria Crater, the largest
impact crater that Opportunity had previously examined. The interior
basin of Endeavour is in the upper half of this view.
The mosaic combines about a dozen images taken through Pancam filters centered on wavelengths of 753 nanometers (near infrared), 535 nanometers (green) and 432 nanometers (violet). The view is presented in false color to make some differences between materials easier to see, such as the dark sandy ripples and dunes on the crater's distant floor.
