Curiosity on Mars: Mt. Sharp in View
			
		
		
		
			What's that on the horizon?
The light peak is 
Mt. Sharp -- an 
eventual destination 
of the Curiosity rover.
The above image mosaic was taken from 
Bradbury Landing, the 
landing spot of Curiosity, 
and shows in the foreground the rover's extended 
robotic arm.
Curiosity's is already 
on the move 
crossing the intermediate gravel field toward an 
interesting 
terrain feature named 
Glenelg.
Curiosity 
has also already started analyzing its surroundings by 
zapping a nearby rock 
with its laser to analyze the chemical composition of the resulting gas plume.
If life ever existed on Mars it might well have been here in Gale crater, 
with the Curiosity rover being humanity's current best chance to 
find what remains.
