'Bonneville' in 3-D!
The Mars Exploration Rover Spirit took this 3-D navigation camera mosaic
Of the crater called "Bonneville" after driving approximately 13 meters (42.7 feet)
to get a better vantage point. Spirit's current position is close enough to the edge to see the interior of the
crater, but high enough and far enough back to get a view of all of
the walls. Because scientists and rover controllers are so pleased
with this location, they will stay here for at least two more martian days, or sols, to take
high resolution panoramic camera images of "Bonneville" in its entirety.
Just above the far crater rim, on the left side, is the rover's heatshield,
which is visible as a tiny reflective speck.
