Pilbara Rock, on the way to Endurance Crater (1) - Sol 35
|
Caption NASA originale:"This approximate true-color image taken by the PanCam on the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity show the rock called Pilbara that is located in the small Fram Crater (vedi Sez. "Walking on Mars..."). The rock appears to be dotted with the same "blueberries" - or spherules - found inside Eagle Crater. Opportunity drilled into this rock with its RAT (such as the so-called "Rock Abrasion Tool"). After analyzing the hole with the Rover's scientific instruments, scientists concluded that Pilbara has a similar chemical make-up, and thus watery past, to rocks studied at Eagle Crater. This image was taken with the PanCam's 480-, 530- and 600-nnmts filters".
