New Opportunities

January 6, 2009 The Opportunity rover makes tracks as it leaves behind Victoria crater, where it spent most of 2008. The rover, which landed on Mars five years ago for a planned 90-day mission, is now heading toward a much larger crater about seven miles away. It's already covered more than a mile as it navigates potentially treacherous sands, which could bog down the aging rover. [NASA/JPL/Cornell]
