This image taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows a
bizarre, lumpy rock dubbed "Wopmay" on the inner slopes of "Endurance
Crater." Scientists say the rock's unusual texture is unlike any others
observed so far at Meridiani Planum. Wopmay measures approximately 1
meter (3.3 feet) across. The image was taken by the rover's panoramic
camera on sol 195 (Aug. 11, 2004). Opportunity will likely travel to this
or a similar rock in coming sols for a closer look at the alien surface.
