The broken "Heat-Shield", from very close! - Sol 339

Caption NASA originale:"This image from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity highlights the seal on the Rover's protective Heat-Shield. Engineers evaluated the performance of the protective shell's seal during a 36-sol investigation. After viewing these images, engineers were pleased with how the seal performed. This is an approximately true-color rendering of the scene acquired around 13:07 MLT on Opportunity's Sol 339 (Jan. 6, 2005) in an image mosaic using panoramic camera filters at wavelengths of 750, 530, and 430 nanometers".
