The Mars Exploration Rover Spirit took this 3-D navigation camera mosaic of the crater nicknamed "Bonneville" on the 67th martian day, or sol, of its mission. The rover's solar panels can be seen in the foreground, and just above the far crater rim, on the left side, is the rover's heatshield, which is visible as a tiny reflective speck.
