The inner wall of Endurance Crater (Burns Cliff) - Sol 280

Caption NASA originale: ""Burns Cliff" during the rover's 280th martian day (Nov. 6, 2004). This cliff in the inner wall of "Endurance Crater" displays multiple layers of bedrock for the rover to examine with its panoramic camera and miniature thermal emission spectrometer. The rover team has decided that the farthest Opportunity can safely advance along the base of the cliff is close to the squarish white rock near the center of this image. After examining the site for a few days from that position, the the rover will turn around and head out of the crater". Già, Opportunity sta per uscire da Endurance. Ma dove andrà? Forse a controllare che lo "scudo termico" di cui abbiamo tanto detto e visto sia davvero lo "scudo termico"? Ce la farà ad arrivare sin là, o si "guasterà" prima?... Dobbiamo solo aspettare qualche altro Sol, e poi sapremo!...
