NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to capture this detailed view of jagged rocks and sediment exposed along the side of a mound called “Fascination Turret.” Made up of 32 individual images that were stitched together after being sent back to Earth, this panorama was taken on March 24, 2024, the 4,135th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.

This panorama — captured by Curiosity’s Mast Camera, or Mastcam, on May 7, 2024, the 4,178th Martian day, or sol, of the mission — is made up of 40 individual images that were stitched together after being sent back to Earth. The color has been adjusted to match lighting conditions as the human eye would see them on Earth.

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to take this 360-degree panorama from within Gediz Vallis channel on June 19, 2024, the 4,220th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The panorama is made up of 336 individual images that were stitched together after being sent back to Earth. The color has been adjusted to match lighting conditions as the human eye would see them on Earth.

These sulfur crystals were found inside a rock after NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover happened to drive over it and crush it on May 30, 2024, the 4,200th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. This image was captured by Curiosity’s Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), a camera on the end of its robotic arm, on June 4, 2024, the 4,205th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.

These yellow crystals were revealed after NASA’s Curiosity happened to drive over a rock and crack it open on May 30. Using an instrument on the rover’s arm, scientists later determined these crystals are elemental sulfur — and it’s the first time this kind of sulfur has been found on the Red Planet.

This panorama captured by NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover shows a location nicknamed “Pontours” where scientists spotted preserved, ancient mud cracks believed to have formed during long cycles of wet and dry conditions over many years. Such cycles are thought to support conditions in which life could form.
