NASA's Spirit rover catches an outcrop dubbed "Longhorn" on its way up the Columbia Hills. The outcrop may contain pristine rocks in their original form and others that may have been altered in the past by liquid water. The rim of Gusev Crater, Spirit's landing site, can be seen in the background. Credit: NASA/JPL. Click to enlarge.
