This left eye in a stereo pair of views presented in a cylindrical-perspective projection was created from three navigation camera frames that NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity acquired at about 4:05 p.m., local solar time on Mars, on sol 108, May 13, 2004. Opportunity is sitting along the rim of "Endurance Crater." NASA has not yet determined whether Opportunity will venture inside the crater, which is about 130 meters (about 430 feet) in diameter.
See PIA05961 for 3-D view and PIA05963 for right eye view of this left eye cylindrical-perspective projection.
