PIA05192: Lily Pad Spectra


Lily Pad Spectra

Caption:

The color image on the lower left from the panoramic camera on the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows the "Lily Pad" bounce-mark area at Meridiani Planum, Mars. This image was acquired on the 3rd sol, or martian day, of Opportunity's mission (Jan.26, 2004). The upper left image is a monochrome (single filter) image from the rover's panoramic camera, showing regions from which spectra were extracted from the "Lily Pad" area. As noted by the line graph on the right, the green spectra is from the undisturbed surface and the red spectra is from the airbag bounce mark.
