Original caption:"Before moving on to explore more of Mars, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit looked back at the long and winding trail of twin wheel tracks the Rover created to get to the top of Husband Hill.
Spirit spent several days in October 2005 at this location, perched on a lofty, rock-strewn incline next to a precarious outcrop nicknamed Hillary. Researchers helped the Rover make several wheel adjustments to get solid footing before conducting scientific analysis of the rock outcrop.
The rock turned out to be similar in appearance and composition to a rock target called Jibsheet that the Rover had studied several months earlier and hundreds of meters away".
