This animation show the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity brushing
bright materials off a circular patch of the rock dubbed "Mazatzal." The
freshly exposed rock was investigated by instruments on the rover's arm
on sol 80 (March 25, 2004). On sol 81, Opportunity used its rock abrasion
tool, also located on its arm, to grind into the cleaned-off rock. This
animation consists of images taken by the rover's hazard-avoidance camera
on sol 79.
