Explanation:
What does the Curiosity rover look like on Mars?
To help find out, NASA engineers digitally synthesized multiple navigation
camera images taken
last week into what appears to be
the view of a single
camera.
Besides clods of
Martian
dirt,
many of Curiosity's
science instruments
are visible and appear in good shape.
Near the middle of the rover is an
augmented reality
tag intended to enable smartphones to provide background information.
Far in the distance is a wall of
Gale Crater.
As Curiosity will begin to
roll
soon, its
first destination has now been chosen: an intriguing intersection of three types
of terrain named
Glenelg.
