Atop Perseverance

Atop Perseverance
Atop Perseverance Opportunity took the raw images that went into this view image with her Navigation Camera (Navcam) after cruising up to the top of Perseverance Valley on May 3, 2017. Author, astronomy outreach educator, and MER poet, Stuart Atkinson processed the raw frames into this Ansel Adams-like, arrival day image. Atkinson contributes to The Planetary Society’s Amateur Space Images Archive. For more of his work, check out his The Road to Endeavor blog. NASA / JPL-Caltech / Cornell / ASU / S. Atkinson
