Explore the latest findings from the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's journey towards Endeavour Crater in this 39-minute press conference from the AGU 2010 Fall Meeting. Learn how orbital observations from the CRISM spectrometer on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed intriguing clay mineral exposures in the crater's rim, suggesting an earlier and less acidic wet environment than previously encountered. Discover how these findings are shaping the rover's mission objectives and potentially rewriting our understanding of Mars' geological history. Hear from expert panelists including Ray Arvidson, Janice Bishop, and John Callas as they discuss the significance of these discoveries, the challenges of navigating Opportunity to its new destination, and the potential for groundbreaking scientific revelations at Endeavour Crater.
