This mosaic from the navigation camera aboard NASA's Mars Exploration
Rover Opportunity was compiled from images taken on the rover's 193rd and
194th sol on Mars (August 9 and 10, 2004). The rover's current work area
near the bottom of "Endurance Crater" is featured in this image. In coming
sols, Opportunity will make its way toward the interesting rock, "Wopmay,"
located on the far right of this image, on the crater's inner slopes just
beneath "Burns Cliff." 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. This image is presented in
cylindrical projection, with geometric and radiometric seam correction.
