NASA's Curiosity Rover Looks Like A Tiny Rivet On Mars' Surface

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover can be seen at the “Pahrump Hills” area of Gale Crater…Pahrump Hills is an outcrop at the base of Mount Sharp. The region contains sedimentary rocks that scientists believe formed in the presence of water. The bright features in the landscape are sedimentary rock and the dark areas are sand.

The HiRISE team plans to periodically image Curiosity, as well as NASA’s other active Mars rover, Opportunity, as the vehicles continue to explore Mars. Source - [ NASA ]
