This simulated flyover shows rhythmic layers of sedimentary rock inside
Becquerel crater on Mars. The animation uses three-dimensional modeling
based on a stereo pair of images from the High Resolution Imaging Science
Experiment (HiRISE) on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute
of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for
NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space
Systems, Denver, is the prime contractor for the project and built the
spacecraft. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment is operated by
the University of Arizona, Tucson, and the instrument was built by Ball
Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo.
