[edit] Summary

Burns Cliff inside of Endurance Crater

This image was downloaded off of NASA's website and has the same permissions as other images on this wiki topic (Opportunity rover). This image has been cropped, with a slight contrast adjustment, and has had missing sky pixels filled in.

The image is based on an approximate true-color mosaic based on multiple frames taken through color filters. The color is approximate because the red filter is actually an infrared filter, which is used more often than a true red filter by the rovers for its scientific value. The rovers do have a red filter, but due to the cost of data transmissions from Mars, it is often not used. Some suggest that the actual sky color would have a bit more orange in it if a true red filter was used.

Opportunity had a bit of difficulty reaching this spot due to the slope. Its recorded wheel movement indicated a high degree of slippage.
