Second Opportunity…

The second Mars Rover named Opportunity landed last Saturday 24 on a region called Terra Meridiani (Meridiani Planum) which is believed to have sedimentary rocks and could have some surface water formations. The rover named Spirit landed on the opposite side of mars. Here is the first high-resolution picture taken by Opportunity. Surrounding rocks are gray hematite which is found in three places on Mars: Meridiani Planum, Aram Chaos and Valles Marineris, most theories propose that hematite was formed by a hydrothermal process.
