Happy Halloween, from Mars

Happy Halloween, from Mars
Happy Halloween, from Mars As All Hallow’s Eve descended on Endeavour Crater, Opportunity sent home some ‘postcards’ of the scene around La Bajada, her third major stop inside Perseverance Valley. On this hallowday dedicated to remembering the dead, from martyrs to saints and “all the faithful departed,” as the saying goes, do rovers dream, if not of electric sheep, of lost siblings? Stuart Atkinson processed this view from raw images the rover sent home in his own style of Martian color. NASA / JPL-Caltech / Cornell / ASU / S. Atkinson
