NASA'S OPPORTUNITY ROVER TO EXPLORE MARS GULLY













"Wharton Ridge" on Mars

This scene from NASA's Mars rover Opportunity shows "Wharton Ridge," which forms part of the southern wall of "Marathon Valley" on the rim of Endeavour Crater. The ridge's name honors the memory of astrobiologist Robert A. Wharton (1951-2012). The scene is presented in approximately true color.
