The rover spent six weeks investigating the crater called "Concepcion" before resuming its long journey this month. The crater is about 10 meters (33 feet) in diameter. Dark rays extending from it, as seen from orbit, flagged it in advance as a target of interest because the rays suggest the crater is young. The rocks ejected outward ... read more |
