Right-eye view of a color stereo pair for PIA11820
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity used its navigation camera to
take the images combined into this stereo, full-circle view of the rover's
surroundings just after driving 111 meters (364 feet) on the 1,797th
Martian day, or sol, of Opportunity's surface mission (Feb. 12, 2009).
North is at the center; south at both ends.
This view is the right-eye member of a stereo pair presented as a
cylindrical-perspective projection with geometric seam correction.
Tracks from the drive recede northward across dark-toned sand ripples in
the Meridiani Planum region of Mars. Patches of lighter-toned bedrock are
visible on the left and right sides of the image. For scale, the distance
between the parallel wheel tracks is about 1 meter (about 40 inches).
