During the Mars rover Opportunity's 1,291st Martian day, or sol, it took a toe-dip into Victoria Crater. All six of its wheels rolled down the inner slope, but a sensor indicated its front wheels had slipped more than an allowable 40 percent. This view shows the wheel tracks created by the short dip into the crater at "Duck Bay." Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
