Cape Verde, according to NASA - Sol 1329
|
Caption NASA:"A promontory nicknamed "Cape Verde" can be seen jutting out from the walls of Victoria Crater in this approximate true-color picture taken by the PanCam on NASA's MER Opportunity. The Rover took this picture on Martian Day, or Sol, 1329 (Oct. 20, 2007), more than a month after it began descending down the crater walls - and just 9 Soles shy of its second Martian birthday on Sol 1338 (Oct. 29, 2007).
Opportunity landed on the Red Planet on Jan. 25, 2004. That's nearly 4 years ago on Earth, but only 2 on Mars, because Mars takes longer to travel around the Sun than Earth. One Martian year equals 687 Earth days.
The overall soft quality of the image, and the "haze" seen in the lower right portion, are the result of scattered light from dust on the front sapphire window of the Rover's camera.
This view was taken using 3 PanCam filters, admitting light with wavelengths centered at 750 (near infrared), 530 (green) and 430 nanometers (violet)".
