Brushed Rocks on top of Home Plate - Sol 763 (False Colors; credits: NASA/JPL/ASU)

NASA's MER Spirit acquired this false-color image at 11:48 MLST on Mars on the Rover's 746th Sol (such as Feb. 26, 2006), after using the RAT to brush the surfaces of rock targets informally named "Stars" (on the left) and "Crawfords" (on the right). Small streaks of dust extend for several cm behind the small rock chips and pebbles in the dusty, red soils. Because the Rover was looking South-West when this image was taken, the wind streaks indicate that the dominant wind direction was from the South-East.
The targets Stars and Crawfords are on a rock outcrop located on top of Home Plate. The outcrop is informally named James 'Cool Papa' Bell, after a Negro Leagues Hall of Famer who played for both the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Kansas City Stars.

The image combines frames taken by Spirit's PanCam through the camera's 753-, 535- and 432-nnmt filters. It is enhanced to emphasize color differences among the rocks, soils and brushed areas. The blue circular area on the left, Stars, was brushed on 761 (Feb. 22, 2006). The one on the right, Crawfords, was brushed on sol 763 (Feb. 25, 2006).
