A #model of #Gale #crater, with the #landing zone of the #Mars Science Laboratory #rover, #Curiosity, which was present as a visual aide in the #NASA #Press Center. The #LandingZone is the white #ellipse.
The central peak of the crater, known as both Mount Sharp and #Aeolis #Mons, is believed to hold many clues to the past of Mars.
The crater also holds features that may be evidence of being formed by flowing, liquid water.
Curiosity landed on August 6, 2012.
