Curiosity snapped this photo of Mt. Sharpe rock formations in September 2016.
Curiosity took dozens of pictures in the spring of 2014 to create this composite selfie at a site called Windjana, where sandstone layers are exposed at Mars’s surface.
Part of a panorama of a site called “Teal Ridge,” taken by Curiosity in June 2019.
The polygon shapes in these rocks might have originated as cracks in drying mud some 3 billion years ago. Curiosity captured this image in December 2016.
Another Curiosity selfie, using pictures from September 2016, features a dark mesa called “M12” to the left and upper Mt. Sharpe to the right of the rover.
