The Drifts of Mars
The Opportunity rover on Mars is exploring Erebus Crater, navigating drifts of dark sand. The rover captured this image inside the crater, showing a surface covered by both dark sand and light rock outcrops. Scattered across the exposed rock are numerous small, spherical concretions, which scientists have nicknamed "blueberries."
