Intrepid Crater on Mars from Opportunity
The robotic rover Opportunity captured this image of Intrepid Crater on Mars in 2010. The impact basin is 20 meters across, slightly larger than Nereus Crater, which Opportunity had previously encountered. This approximately true-color image is horizontally compressed to create a wide-angle panorama.
