Mount Sharp

Latest image from Curiosity in Gale Crater, Mars

Had to share this wonderful high definition photograph of Mount Sharp in the Gale Crater on Mars. Curiosity's shadow can be seen stretching out towards Mount Sharp. You can clearly see the stratification of the cliff face at the foot of Mount Sharp.  Curiosity will make its way toward these cliffs to investigate the geology with its on-board instrumentation and laboratory.  All Americans that read this post should be proud of NASA and its exceptional engineering teams.
