The objective of this observation is to examine a large field of thin layers exposed in a crater. The scene is also visible in a Context Camera image (B20_017303_1889). In some places many layers are visible; in other places just a few layers are exposed.
Meridiani Planum is a plain located 2 degrees south of Mars’ equator, and hosts a rare occurrence of gray crystalline hematite. The region also contains the Challenger Memorial Station.
