Mars Rocks, Sojourner Rolls
This color image features Mars rock Yogi and the Sojourner robot. Yogi's two-toned surface may be caused by the accumulation of rust-colored dust on its windward face. The Pathfinder spacecraft, now the Sagan Memorial Station, returned a scientific bonanza from the surface of Mars.
