Explanation: Opportunity had already reached Perseverance Valley by June of 2018. Its view is reconstructed in a colorized mosaic of images taken by the Mars Exploration Rover’s Navcam. In fact, Perseverance Valley is an appropriate name for the destination. Designed for a 90 day mission, Opportunity had traveled across Mars for over 5,000 sols (martian solar days) following a January 2004 landing in Eagle crater. Covering a total distance of over 45 kilometers (28 miles), its intrepid journey of exploration across the Martian landscape has come to a close here. On June 10, 2018, the last transmission from the solar-powered rover was received as a dust storm engulfed the Red Planet. Though the storm has subsided, eight months of attempts to contact Opportunity have not been successful and its trailblazing mission ended after almost 15 years of exploring the surface of Mars.

A starfield is shown featuring many stars in the center and many pillars of interstellar dust around the edges pointing toward the center. The main image is in infrared light, and a rollover image from Hubble shows the same scene in visible light. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.
图中显示的星空中央有许多恒星，边缘周围有许多指向中心的星际尘埃柱。主图为红外光图像，哈勃望远镜的翻转图像显示了可见光下的同一场景。有关更多详细信息，请参阅说明。
