This image mosaic, compiled from navigation and panoramic camera images
during the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's 33rd, 35th, and 36th sols
on Mars, shows a panoramic view of the crater where the rover had been
exploring since its dramatic arrival in late January 2004. The crater,
now informally referred to as "Eagle Crater," is approximately 22 meters
(72 feet) in diameter. Opportunity's lander is visible in the center of
the image. Track marks reveal the rover's progress. The rover cameras
recorded this view as Opportunity climbed close to the crater rim as
part of a soil survey campaign.
