Beagle Crater and 360° Panorama from Sol 901 through 904 (2)
|
Caption NASA originale:"Though it looks relatively fresh in orbital images, from a closer vantage point Beagle Crater appears moderately eroded.
The crater walls are slumped and the middle of the crater bowl is filled with rippled sand. However, a slightly raised crater rim remains, and in a few places (for instance, on the inside left wall), cliffs of outcrop appear to be preserved in the crater. Ejected rocks from Beagle Crater surround the Rover, many with the distinctive, fine-grained layering commonly seen in the rocks of Meridiani Planum. Many of these rocks have surfaces smoothed by wind erosion. Wind erosion also formed the sand drifts nestled among the rocks".
