Beagle Crater (normal) - Sol 855

Caption NASA originale:"This imagery from the PanCam on NASA's MER Opportunity shows the outcrop-rimmed "Beagle Crater" appearing on the horizon as Opportunity approaches it. The stretched version (see the following frame) is vertically stretched to make horizon details easier to see. The un-stretched version (such as this one) has normal proportions. The image is a mosaic of frames taken during Opportunity's 855th Martian day, or Sol (such as June 20, 2006).

Beagle Crater is 35 meters (about 115 feet) in diameter. The Opportunity science and engineering teams hope to have the Rover visit it on the way to Victoria Crater. Beagle Crater was 310 meters (about 1.107 feet) away from Opportunity when this picture was taken. Even at this distance, blocks of ejecta can be seen around the prominent, raised rim of Beagle crater, suggesting that it may be among the youngest craters visited by Opportunity".
