NASA Mars Rover Curiosity He took another selfie just a few months before his six-wheeled cousin joins Red Planet.
Curiosity, which touched within 96 miles-wide (154 kilometers) Gail Crater In Mary Gust 2012, members of a local mission team called “Mary Team Ning” took selfies on May 25. A photo released by NASA on Thursday (November 12) shows 59 images of the rover team stitching together.
Curiosity has decided that Gail a Potential livable lake and flow system In the ancient past. Car-sized rover now mounted. The steep, ale.4-mile-altitude (.5. Kilometers) mountain that rises from the center of Gail, which we know today, is looking for clues about Mars’ long transition from a relatively warm and humid world.

Curiosity has been on the Merry Ning site – a soil-rich region that was probably wet billions of years ago – since July, since NASA Mars 2020 rover speed Started towards the Red Planet. On February 18, 2021, the 28 mile wide (45 km) Jezero will land diligently inside the crater.
During her time at Meri Ning Ning, Curiosity has drilled three holes in the rocks of the area, collecting and analyzing the resulting powder samples. Those three holes bring a total number of curiosities to Mars About 30.

Meri Ning Ning was a 19th-century English paleontologist whose discovery of marine-reptile fossils was largely ignored because of her gender and class, “NASA officials said. Wrote in a statement on Thursday. “Scientists from the Curiosity team thought it appropriate to name the sample site after Anning because of the area’s potential to reveal details about the ancient environment.”
Curiosity The next stop is the higher level of the mount. Observations of orbital rocks have shown that they are rich in sulfates. These sulfates were deposited in different conditions than Mary Anning’s soil – an environment that was significantly drying, or whose water was more acidic, NASA officials have said. The Curiosity team aims to reach sulfate levels early next year.
