Curiosity Reaches 1-Kilometer Elevation Gain
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover reached the pinnacle — so far — of its 14-year-old mission on Aug. 26, 2026, when it marked an elevation gain of 1 kilometer in its journey from Gale Crater on Mars up the slope of Mount Sharp.

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.
