Description
Scientists are investigating the ripples and textures seen in this 4-panel mosaic image, taken by the microscopic imager on the instrument deployment device or "robotic arm" of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. The images were taken from "Panoramic Position 2" on the southeast side of the rim of "Endurance" Crater. This small set of nearly 150 images was acquired to examine small-scale ripple patterns suggestive of past aqueous processes on Mars.
