Skyline, with Endurance Crater in the distance - Sol 32 (Approx. True Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
Caption NASA:"This image taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's PanCam shows the Eastern Plains that stretch beyond the small Crater where the Rover Landed. In the distance, the Rim of a larger Crater dubbed "Endurance" can be seen. This mosaic was taken on the 32nd Martian Day, or Sol, of the Rover's mission and spans 20° of the Local Horizon. It was taken while Opportunity was parked at the North end of the Outcrop, in front of the rock region dubbed "El Capitan", and facing East.
The features seen at the horizon are the near and far rims of "Endurance," the largest crater within about 6 Km (approx. 4 miles) of the Lander. Using orbital data from the Mars Orbiter Camera on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor Spacecraft, scientists estimated the crater to be approx. 160 meters (175 yards) in diameter, and about 720 meters (half a mile) away from the Lander. The highest point visible on Endurance is the highest point on the far Inner Wall of the Crater; the Sun is illuminating the inside of the Wall itself.ù
Between the location where the image was taken at "El Capitan" and "Endurance" are the flat, smooth Meridiani Plains, which scientists believe are blanketed in the Iron-bearing mineral called Hematite. The dark horizontal feature near the bottom of the picture is a small, approx. 5-meter (16-feet) Crater, only 50 meters (164 feet) from Opportunity's present position. When the Rover leaves the Crater some 2 to 3 weeks from now, Endurance will be the destinations".
