Arrival at 'Spirit Point' by Mars Rover Opportunity
(http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/press/opportunity/20110810b/PIA14509_2681pancam_br.jpg)
"NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity arrived at the rim of Endeavour crater on Aug. 9, 2011, after a trek of more than 13 miles (21 kilometers) lasting nearly three years since departing the rover's previous major destination, Victoria crater, in August 2008.
"After arrival, Opportunity used its panoramic camera (Pancam) to record the images combined into this mosaic view. The view scene shows the "Spirit Point" area of the rim, including a small crater, "Odyssey" on the rim, and the interior of Endeavour beyond.

West Rim of Endeavour Crater on Mars (False Color)

"A portion of the west rim of Endeavour crater sweeps southward in this color view from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. This crater -- with a diameter of about 14 miles (22 kilometers) -- is more than 25 times wider than any that Opportunity has previously approached during the rover's 90 months on Mars.
"The view is presented in false color to emphasize differences among materials in the rocks and the soils."

Thanks for the link.
Stunning in every way. I never thought she would make it that far, always seemed a little optimistic. I guess thoes are the famous "blueberries" in the foreground.
Cheers

Certainly a worthy challenge for terragen 2.
