MER-B Opportunity landing site.

This image of the landing site of MER-B Opportunity was taken from orbit by Mars Global Surveyor. The rover landed in a small crater perhaps 20 m in diameter. The large white dot in the crater is the landing pod with its side panels deployed outwards. The Opportunity rover is probably the very small blackish dot slightly to the right of the 12:00 position in the crater.
