Mosaic of Endurance Crater on Mars
The Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity explored Endurance Crater. This mosaic image, taken in 2004, shows the rover's possible paths. The team ultimately chose to investigate a rock called Wopmay. The crater is a key site for understanding Mars's geological history.
