Great new Mastcam shots by Curiosity as she climbs west toward the broad saddle separating Gediz Vallis from its neighboring canyon on the slopes of Mount Sharp

Fresh from the Curiosity rover: a long distance ChemCam Remote Micro-Imager mosaic to assess the yardang unit higher on Mount Sharp. Beautiful!

Martian Cartography
Here is a 360° panorama captured by Curiosity at her current location, with North at center and South at both ends, on top of two large and small scale maps with her position.
There are many geological features in the panorama, can you find them in the maps?

Coming back to the Sol 4162 bonanza, with a mosaic showing some exquisite details of the ground of this bedrock.

A special thanks to Ryan Kinnett for his Rover Pics application, to preview and select raw images. Very useful stuff!

here it is, captured two days later in Stereo3D by the NAV_LEFT and NAV_RIGHT cameras of the rover
To get the Stereo3D effect, just let your eyes' line of sight be parallel with left eye in front of left image and right eye in front of right image.

Check out this beautiful Martian landscape
The images were acquired by Curiosity Mast Camera on Sol 4162, four days ago.

there is an intriguing little dark rock which stands out, poised on a wider, lighter slab, let's go have a closer look in 3D...

Thanks #CuriosityRover for these amazing discoveries!
Sols 4157-4158: What is That??
Curiosity finds odd rocks with "dragon scales" texture.
"We have seen a lot of layered rocks over the last 12 years on Mars, but these ones really stand out by the dizzying pattern they trace on the rock surfaces."

Absolutely fascinating Stereo3D view of this Martian landscape.
Many thanks to @PaulHammond51 for finding the right-eye view from the rover's R-Nav Cam.

wow what a fascinating Martian sight, wish there were a dual stereo pair of images to see this one in 3D!
This image was taken by the Left Navigation Camera onboard NASA's Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4155 (2024-04-14).

Explore Mars’ Gediz Vallis Channel With NASA’s Curiosity Rover (360° View)
#GedizVallis channel was one of the last features to form on #MountSharp, the base of which #Curiosity has been ascending since 2014. The channel is filled with piles of #boulders and #debris that may have been brought here by debris flows (rapid, wet landslides) or dry avalanches.
amazingly delicate rock structures captured by Mars rover Curiosity on the 4028th day of its mission

Curiosity rover staat voor zijn zwaarste klim tot nu toe op Mars
Op 5 augustus zal de Curiosity zijn 11de jaar op Mars noteren door te doen waar de rover het beste in is: het oppervlak van de Rode Planeet bestuderen. De onverschrokken robot onderzocht onlangs een locatie met de bijnaam “Jau” die pokdalig is met tientallen ins

This is cool!
"The rocks near these attempted drill holes have a rippled texture that was created billions of years ago as waves flowed upon a shallow #lake. Despite having climbed through thousands of feet of lake deposits, #Curiosity had never previously seen evidence of #water and waves this clear. The #discovery came as a surprise because this region of #MountSharp – the 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) mountain Curiosity is climbing – is thought to have formed as #Mars’ climate was growing drier."

NASA Mars ExplorationCuriosity's 360-Degree View of 'Marker Band Valley' – NASA Mars ExplorationNASA’s Curiosity used its Mastcam to capture this 360-degree panorama of “Marker Band Valley” on Dec. 16, 2022, the 3,684th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Rippled rock textures found in this area are the clearest evidence the rover has seen of water and waves from Mars’ ancient past.
