Explanation:
What's that on the horizon?
The light peak is
Mt. Sharp -- an
eventual destination
of the Curiosity rover.
The above image mosaic
was taken from
Bradbury Landing, the
landing spot of Curiosity,
and shows in the foreground the rover's extended
robotic
arm.
Curiosity's is already
on the move
crossing the intermediate gravel field toward an
interesting
terrain feature named
Glenelg.
Curiosity
has also already started analyzing its surroundings by
zapping a
nearby rock
with its laser to analyze the chemical composition of the resulting gas plume.
If life ever existed on Mars it might well have been here in Gale crater,
with the Curiosity rover being humanity's current best chance to
find
what remains.
