Drive Direction

        This mosaic was acquired by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity on Sol 4428 (July 8, 2016). Approximately 30 degrees wide, this mosaic is of the "purple rocks" located in the rover's drive direction. Pancam's 753 nm, 535 nm, and 432 nm filters were used in this mosaic.  Three versions are provided at full resolution: an approximate true color rendering, a false color rendering which enhances the subtle color differences in the scene, and a stereo anaglyph for 3D viewing through red-blue glasses.
