This is the largest crater ever visited by robots on Mars. Although the robot Opportunity has been at the edges of the crater for more than a year, it was forced to wait for a safe path due to massive dust storms. It is hoped that the Victoria Crater will show several layers of rock created at impact, giving scientists clues about the ancient history of the surface of Mars.Friday, October 26, 2007
