Click on the image for 'Burns Cliff' Color Panorama (QTVR)
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity captured this view of "Burns
Cliff" after driving right to the base of this southeastern portion of
the inner wall of "Endurance Crater." The view combines frames taken by
Opportunity's panoramic camera between the rover's 287th and 294th martian
days (Nov. 13 to 20, 2004).
This is a composite of 46 different images, each acquired in seven
different Pancam filters. It is an approximately true-color rendering
generated from the panoramic camera's 750-nanometer, 530-nanometer and
430-nanometer filters. The mosaic spans more than 180 degrees side to
side. Because of this wide-angle view, the cliff walls appear to bulge
out toward the camera. In reality the walls form a gently curving,
continuous surface.
