Under the blanket
Under the blanket Although this is not an authentic color view of this scene along the rim of Endeavour Crater, Stuart Atkinson colorized this image to give a feel for what it might be like for Opportunity in all that darkness and dust during the planet-encircling dust event (PEDE) on Mars. A contributor to The Planetary Society’s Amateur Space Images Archive and frequent image contributor to The MER Update, Atkinson has also followed this rover’s journey in his The Road to Endeavour.
