In this movie clip, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit moves its robotic
arm, called the instrument deployment device, to take a series of images
with the rover's microscopic imager during the rover's 469th martian day,
or sol (April 28, 2005). The images making up this clip were taken by
Spirit's left front hazard identification camera. The arm's carefully
planned motions positioned the microscopic imager to take an array of 24
images of this rock target, dubbed "Keystone," at an outcrop called
"Methuselah." The microscopic imager frames were combined into a mosaic
view PIA07977 showing the finely laminated texture of
the rock.
