Mission To Mars: The latest images



Mars Rover, and Orbiter, sent back some cool pics, from
their exploration of "Victoria's Crater." (The Orbiter,
is seen, in the crater, with arrow pointing to it.)

NASA's long-lived robotic rover Opportunity is beginning to explore layered rocks in cliffs ringing the massive Victoria crater on Mars.

While Opportunity spent its first week at the crater, NASA's newest eye in the Martian sky photographed the rover and its surroundings from above. The level of detail in the photo from the high-resolution camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will help guide the rover's exploration of Victoria.
