Halftime picture show

Halftime picture show
Halftime picture show Opportunity took the frames that went into this panorama with her Navcam in early March 2018. The tracks show how the rover has moved around this site, about halfway down the length of Perseverance Valley. Author and planetary outreach educator, Stuart Atkinson stitched the frames together and processed this image. A frequent image contributor to The MER Update, Atkinson also contributes to The Planetary Society’s Amateur Space Images Archive, and blogs about this rover’s journey at his The Road to Endeavour.
