A grayscale photo panorama of the Martian surface shows an area of flat ground in the foreground, with some smooth and some rocky sections interspersed, and two tall buttes in the background, one at the right side of the image and one dominating the center. The center one is brightly backlit by glowing sunlight. Portions of the Curiosity rover are visible at the far left, bottom, and far right of the frame.

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.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover took this selfie, made up of 62 individual images, on July 23. A rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls,” which has features that may bear on the question of whether the Red Planet was long ago home to microscopic life, is to the left of the rover near the center of the image.
