Gale Crater landscape,as imaged by NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars. This rover,part of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission,landed here on 6 August 2012. The view looks south-south-west. In the foreground is an area of gravel,followed by a swale (depression),then the boulder-strewn rim (red-brown) of a moderately-sized impact crater. In the distance are dark dunes and layered rock at the base of Mount Sharp. The horizon is just over 16 kilometres away. Image obtained on 23 August 2012 during calibration of the 34mm Mast Camera. For the same terrain as seen by the telephoto 100mm Mast Camera,see C014/4935 | |
