Opportunity's View After 72-Meter Drive, Sol 1912 (Stereo)
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity used its navigation camera to take the images combined into this stereo, 360-degree view of the rover's surroundings on the 1,912th Martian day, or sol, of its surface mission (June 10, 2009). The view appears three-dimensional when viewed through red-blue glasses with the red lens on the left. Opportunity had driven meters southward (237 feet) that sol. Engineers drove the rover backward as a strategy to counteract an increase in the amount of current drawn by the drive motor of the right-front wheel. North is at the top of the image; south at the bottom. Opportunity's position on Sol 1912 was about kilometers ( miles) south-southwest of Victoria Crater. For scale, the distance between the parallel wheel tracks is about 1 meter (about 40 inches). This panorama combines right-eye and left-eye views presented as cylindrical-perspective projections with geometric seam correction.
