The Opportunity rover  is currently exploring Mars and has been since early 2004. Opportunity has been searching for evidence of ancient water, and sending images across the inner Solar System. In the image above, Opportunity looks opposite to the Sun into Endurance Crater. This is where the rover's shadow falls and the wheels of Opportunity are also seen. Opportunity still roams Mars, exploring unusual terrain in Meridiani Planum.
