A NASA image shows Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity using its front hazard-identification camera across the Victoria Crater on Sept. 27, 2007. Mars formed more than 4.5 billion years ago, and scientists generally believe it went through an early wet and warm era that ended after 1.5 billion to 2.5 billion years, leaving the planet extremely dry and cold.
