APOD 3.2 Rover on Mars

Rover on Mars APOD 3.2: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120125.html
As winter was approaching on Mars in the southern hemisphere, the Opportunity Rover did not know where to go. Without the sun and under freezing conditions, Opportunity's batteries could be wasted. Therefore, Opportunity was instructed to climb onto the 15 degree incline on Greenley's Haven. Greenley Haven is visible from a far away distance.
