Opportunity: Approaching Athens

3969-navcamSol 3969, March 25, 2015. Opportunity’s next target is a light-toned outcrop dubbed Athens, seen here in a two-frame Navcam composite. Note the faint darkening across the closer part of the outcrop, which may indicate chemical changes in the rock, perhaps from water. The ground-level view is provided by the front Hazcam (below; contrast much adjusted).
