Left-eye view of a color stereo pair for PIA11803
Right-eye view of a color stereo pair for PIA11803
NASA Mars Exploration Rover Spirit used its navigation camera to take the
images assembled into this stereo, 120-degree view southward after a short
drive during the 1,809th Martian day, or sol, of Spirit's mission on the
surface of Mars (February 3, 2009).
By combining images from the left-eye and right-eye sides of the
navigation camera, the view appears three-dimensional when viewed through
red-blue glasses with the red lens on the left.
Spirit had driven about 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) that sol, continuing a
clockwise route around a low plateau called "Home Plate." In this image,
the rocks visible above the rovers' solar panels are on the slope at the
northern edge of Home Plate.
This view is presented as a cylindrical-perspective projection with
geometric seam correction.
