East Rim of Endeavour Crater in Opportunity's View - Sol 2407 (Approx. True Colors; credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell University)

Caption NASA:"NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity used its PanCam to record this Eastward Horizon View on the 2407th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Rover's work on Mars (such as Oct. 31, 2010).
A portion of Endeavour Crater's Eastern Rim, still nearly 30 Km (about 19 miles) away, is visible over the Meridiani "Skyline". Endeavour Crater is about 22 Km (approx. 14 miles) in diameter. The Rover Team chose Endeavour Crater as a long-term destination for Opportunity in mid-2008, after the Rover had investigated the much-smaller Victoria Crater for two years. The Rover is headed for a portion of Endeavour's Western Rim not visible in this image.
This view is presented in Approximately True Color by combining exposures taken through three filters of the Panoramic Camera (PanCam) admitting wavelengths of 752 nanometers, 535 nanometers and 432 nanometers".
