Spirit looks back at its tracks on Sol 1861 of its mission on Mars. Its immobile right-front wheel, which forces the rover to drive backwards, churned up bright soil. The edge of Home Plate forms the horizon on the right side of this image. Husband Hill is on the horizon on the left side. The parallel rover wheel tracks are about 1 meter (40 inches) apart.
