PASADENA, Calif., March 19 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency says its Mars rover Opportunity is within sight of the horizon of the big crater toward which it has been traveling for six months.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said Endeavour Crater, 14 miles in diameter, is still 7 miles from Opportunity as the crow flies and at least 30 percent farther away on routes mapped for evading en route hazards.
