PIA05923: The Road Less Traveled (3-D)


The Road Less Traveled (3-D)

Caption:

This three-dimensional view in a cylindrical-perspective projection was created from navigation camera images that NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit acquired on sol 127 (May 12, 2004). Spirit is sitting at site 48. The tracks show the path the rover has traveled so far on its way to the base of the "Columbia Hills." In this image, the hills can be seen silhouetted against the horizon on the far left side. Spirit will reach the base of the hills by sol 160.

See PIA05924 for left eye view and PIA05925 for right eye view of this 3-D cylindrical-perspective projection.
