Tabular rocks

Tabular rocks
Tabular rocks This image shows part of the tabular rock panorama that Opportunity shot with her Pancam in May. The robot field geologist spent much of the month study a tabular rock named Inde and another christened La Joya, where the robot was at month’s end. Stuart Atkinson recently processed this image, again in his lush brand of Mars color. A frequent image contributor to The MER Update, Atkinson contributes to The Planetary Society’s Amateur Space Images Archive. He has followed this rover’s journey for years.
