Clouds and Sand on the Horizon of Mars

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Opportunity rover captured this view of the Martian horizon near Victoria Crater, showing vast plains of red sand and an orange sky. Wispy clouds are visible in the distance, and few rocks dot the landscape in this exaggerated color mosaic. This vista gives a sense of standing on Mars.
