  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  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.

  11. Curiosity proudly brandishing her instrumented turret, somewhere on the eastern edge of the boxwork unit. What a sight, looks like scifi!

    This is just another small part of the Sol 4821 Mastcam 360° panorama.
