PIA05896: Spirit's View on Sol 123 (left eye)


Spirit’s View on Sol 123 (left eye)

Caption:

This left eye of a stereo pair of views in a cylindrical-perspective projection was created from navigation camera images that NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit acquired on sol 123 (May 8, 2004). Spirit is sitting at site 44. The rover is on the way to the "Columbia Hills," which can be seen on the horizon. To this point, Spirit has driven a total of 1,830 meters (1.14 miles). The hills are less than 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) away, and the rover might reach them by mid-June.

See PIA05895 for 3-D view and PIA05897 for right eye view of this left eye cylindrical-perspective projection.
