"'It took our breath away' – Mars rover finds strange polygon features in the Red Planet's rusty dirt" by BBC @skyatnightmag - #NASA #CuriosityRover got a 360° panorama showing polygon shapes like mud cracks in all directions around it. But Mars doesn't currently have surface water. This makes opportunities for research how they could have formed. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/mars-rover-polygon-features #Mars #planetary #geology #space

Stereo3D view of the Miraflores butte captured yesterday by Curiosity. First time we see it delineated against the backdrop of the walls of the rim of Gale Crater in the distance.
To go 3D: eyes' lines of sight parallel, left image for left eye, right image for right eye.

NASA’s Curiosity Takes Close Look at Rock That Got Stuck on Drill
This mosaic is made up of eight images stitched together. The color has been approximately white-balanced to resemble how the scene would appear under daytime lighting conditions on Earth.

Two new mosaics of the area excavated by the uplifting and removal (and destruction) of the Atacama rock, captured by the left and right Mastcam eyes. Can you spot the 5 impacts of the laser shots described in the quoted post? Bonus points for finding another series of 5.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Frees Its Drill From a Rock
This series of images shows Mars rover Curiosity as it got a rock stuck to the drill on the end of its robotic arm and, after waving the arm and running the drill a few times, finally detached the rock.
