"El Capitan": an Outcrop inside Eagle Crater - Sol 33 (an Image-Mosaic in Approximate True Colors by NASA/JPL-Caltech)
|
Caption NASA originale:"This mosaic of images taken by the PanCam onboard the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows the rock region dubbed "El Capitan," which lies within the larger outcrop near the Rover's landing site. "El Capitan" is being studied in great detail using the scientific instruments on the Rover's arm; images from the PanCam help scientists choose the locations for this compositional work. The millimeter-scale detail of the lamination covering these rocks can also be seen. The face of the rock to the right of the mosaic may be a future target for grinding with the Rover's Rock Abrasion Tool".
