Opportunity Rover on Valentine’s Day 2014<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the latest HiRISE image of Opportunity rover<\/a>\u00a0at Solander Point, where it spent a few weeks\u00a0investigating Pinnacle rock<\/a>\u00a0(the \u201cjelly donut\u201d) that was flipped over by the rover wheel.<\/p>\n

We planned this image when this \u201cnew\u201d rock was first seen; one hypothesis was that a recent impact deposited the rock. We see no obvious signs of a very recent crater in our image, but a careful comparison to prior images might reveal subtle changes (besides the rover position).<\/p>\n

Changes in this region of Mars might be most likely from the action of wind (there are active sand dunes on the floor of Endeavour Crater), but new impacts could occur anywhere.\u00a0The rover is located in the exact center of the color cutout<\/a>.<\/p>\n
