Opportunity Mars Exploration Rover at the Erebus Crater on Mars. This is a composite of images taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity between 23rd November and 5th December 2005. It is a vertical projection, with the rover at centre. The field of view extends around 25 metres from the rover. At this time, Opportunity was on the rim of the wide but shallow Erebus Crater in the Meridiani Planum region of Mars. Opportunity landed on Mars on 25th January 2004 and has conducted many studies of soil, rocks and the atmosphere. The colours here are false, chosen to emphasise the different surface materials around the rover, including dunes (green) and exposed rock (orange).
