Opportunity View of 'Gilbert' Layer (False Color)

NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell University · Download full size image

This view from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows bedock within a stratigraphic layer informally named "Gilbert," which is the rover's next target after completing an examination of three stratigtaphic layers forming a bright band around the inside of Victoria Crater. The rover will descend deeper into the crater to reach the Gilbert layer.

Opportunity used its panoramic camera (Pancam) to capture this image with low-sun angle at a local solar time of 3:30 p.m. during the rover's 1,429th Martian day, of sol (Jan. 31, 2008).

This view combines separate images taken through the Pancam filters centered on wavelengths of 753 nanometers, 535 nanometers and 432 nanometers. It is presented in a false-color stretch to bring out subtle color differences in the scene. Posted on: 05 Mar, 2008
