File:PIA17265 - Nobbys Head On Mars.jpg
Nobbys Head, named after an Australian headland sighted by James Cook in 1770, is about a third of the way from the rim segment where Opportunity worked for most of the past two years, Cape York, to Solander Point. See image PIA17072 for a map of this section of the rim of Endeavour Crater. Opportunity began a trek of approximately two kilometres from part of Cape York to Solander Point in late May 2013. The six Pancam frames combined into this mosaic view were taken during the 3,335th Martian day, or sol, of Opportunity's mission on Mars (11 June 2013). The rover drove 34.88 metres on that sol.
Opportunity has been studying the western rim of Endeavour Crater since arriving there in August 2011. The crater spans 22 kilometres in diameter, by far the largest that Opportunity has visited since it landed on Mars in January 2004.
