Outcrop

        This mosaic was acquired by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity on Sol 1874 (May 2, 2009). The field of view is approximately 47 degrees wide. The visible seam between frames (more obvious in the false color version) is caused by dust buildup on Pancam's front sapphire window. Pancam's 753nm, 535nm, and 432nm filters were used in this mosaic.  Two versions are available below at full resolution: an approximate true color rendering, and a false color stretch to enhance the subtle color differences in the scene.
