Wallpaper: Spirit “Cahokia” Panorama, sols 213-223 This stunning image mosaic of the Columbia Hills includes rocks that show evidence of past alteration by water. This approximate true-color image, nicknamed the "Cahokia panorama" after the Native American archaeological site near St. Louis, was acquired between sols 213 to 223 (9 to 19 Aug 2004). Because the rover was parked on a steep slope, it was tilted approximately 22 degrees to the west-northwest. NASA / JPL-Caltech / Cornell
