Jornada del Muerto

Jornada del Muerto
Jornada del Muerto Opportunity moved in on this outcrop, another one of the potentially new types of rock that the rover has been seeing of late in Perseverance Valley. The team named it Jornada del Muerto and on Jan. 21, 2018, the rover positioned herself to examine it up close with the instruments on her Instrument Deployment Device (IDD) or robotic arm. The rover’s investigation of this rock continued into the first week or so of February. NASA / JPL-Caltech / Cornell / ASU
