This expansive view of the martian real estate surrounding the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity
is the first 360 degree, high-resolution color image taken by the rover's panoramic camera. The
airbag marks, or footprints, seen in the soil trace the route by which Opportunity rolled to its
final resting spot inside a small crater at Meridiani Planum, Mars. The exposed rock outcropping
is a future target for further examination. This image mosaic consists of 225 individual frames.
