| Description |
English: Located 2 degrees south of the Martian equator, Meridiani Planum hosts a rare occurrence of the crystalline hematite, which on Earth often forms in hot springs or in standing pools of water. Could there have been an equivalent in Meridiani in the ancient past? The region was the landing site of the Opportunity rover in 2004.
Enhanced color cutout is less than 1 km (under 1 mi) top to bottom and is 269 km (167 mi) above the surface, and north is to the right. For full images including scale bars, visit the source link. NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona |
