Burns Cliff inside of Endurance Crater

This image has been cropped and has had missing sky pixels filled in.

The image is based on an approximate true-color mosaic based on multiple frames taken through color filters. The color is approximate because the red filter is actually an infrared filter, which is used more often than a true red filter by the rovers for its scientific value. The rovers do have a red filter, but due to the limits of data transmission from Mars, it is often not used. Some suggest that the actual sky color would have a bit more orange in it if a true red filter was used.

Opportunity had a bit of difficulty reaching this spot due to the slope. Its recorded wheel movement indicated a high degree of slippage.
