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.

This artistic scene was captured by the #Curiosity #Mars rover on November 16, 2021. Curiosity took two sets of composite images, one at 8:30 AM and the other at 4:10 PM local Mars time. The #Curiosity rover traveled to the side of #Mars' #MountSharp, or #AeolisMons, a mountain that forms the central peak of #GaleCrater. There, mission team members captured the beauty of the natural #Martian landscape with Curiosity's navigation cameras.
