R.I.P. Spirit and Opportunity are monuments to exploration now. Spirit, left, is resting near Home
Plate in the Columbia Hills area of Gusev Crater. "If you look carefully you can actually see a
bright trailing leading to Spirit, the result of the rover’s broken wheel being dragged through
the dirt,” noted author, poet, and MER Update contributor Stuart Atkinson, who enhanced the
color of this image; Opportunity, right, is about halfway down Perseverance Valley, which
cuts the western rim of Endeavour Crater in Meridiani Planum. Both images were taken by
the HiRISE camera onboard MRO. NASA / JPL-Caltech / University of Arizona / A. McEwen; S. Atkinson
