This image taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's panoramic
camera shows the rover's rock abrasion tool before and after it ground
into a rock at Meridiani Planum, Mars. The red dust coating on the
instrument is thought to be a form of the mineral hematite. The image
on the left was taken on the 29th martian day, or sol, of the rover's
mission, and the image on the right on the 31st sol.
