Layers at Home Plate (HR) - Sol 748
|
Caption NASA originale:"NASA's MER Spirit acquired this HR view of intricately layered exposures of rock while parked on the Northwestern edge of the bright, semi-circular feature known as "Home Plate". The Rover was perched at a 27-degree upward tilt while creating the panorama, resulting in the "U" shape of the mosaic.
(A) The northern edge of Home Plate,
(B) the coarse-grained lower unit,
(C) the fine-grained upper unit.
Spirit acquired 246 separate images of this scene using 6 different filters on the panoramic camera (Pancam) during the rover's Martian days, or Soles, 748 through 751 (such as from Feb. 9 through Feb. 12, 2006).
The field of view covers 160° of terrain around the Rover".
