This picture doesnt even seem real to me, it could be the cover of a science fiction book! However, this piture is very real as it is the shadow of a robot that was sent to Mars to collect samples and research the red planet. This robot is named Opportunity, and its sister robot is named Spirit, both sent to study Mars. These robots are responsible for many stunning pictures of the surface of Mars and its surroundings in space. Also because of these robots, evidence has been found of water once existing on Mars. The shadow of the robot is being cast toward a crater named the endeavour. The opportunity still continues to help researches gain a greater knowledge of this expansive crater. However, the Spirit is no longer in operation as it has been stuck somewhere on the rocky surface of Mars.
