Mars orbiter spots rover on weird plateau
Imagery could help scientists figure out history of ‘Home Plate’. NASA’s sharpest-eyed orbiter at Mars has spotted the Spirit rover far below, sitting on an enigmatic rock formation nicknamed “Home Plate.”
Such imagery could provide new clues about the plateau’s geological history — and serve as a guide for Spirit’s future sojourns around Home Plate, Ken Herkenhoff of the U.S. Geological Survey told msnbc.com on Monday.
