King of the Hill
The Spirit Mars rover surveys the floor of Gusev Crater from its perch at the top of Husband Hill in this recent false-color image. After months of climbing and extensive studies along the way, the rover reached the top of the hill last week. It will remain there for several days or weeks before continuing its trek across Mars. Deposits of dust are visible on the crater floor, and mountains ring the crater in the distance. [Credit: NASA/JPL/Cornell]
