Rocknest site, Mars, Curiosity image C015 / 6506
Rocknest site, Mars. View of a wheel track mark from NASAs Curiosity rover in a ripple of windblown sand and dust at the Rocknest site on the surface of Mars. This site was selected as the location for first use of the scoop on the arm of NASAs Curiosity rover. The rover deliberately created this mark to give researchers a better opportunity to examine the particle-size distribution of the material forming the ripple. Imaged by Curiositys right Navigation camera, on the missions 57th Martian day, or sol (3rd October 2012). The width of the wheel track is about 40 centimetres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Rocknest site on Mars, as seen through the lens of NASA's Curiosity rover. The image showcases a distinct wheel track mark etched into a ripple of windblown sand and dust, providing researchers with an invaluable opportunity to study the particle-size distribution within this geological formation. The chosen location for this groundbreaking experiment was carefully selected due to its unique characteristics. This particular mark was intentionally created by Curiosity's scoop-equipped arm to enable scientists to delve deeper into the composition and structure of the material forming the ripple. By examining these intricate details, experts hope to gain further insights into Mars' geology and mineralogy. Imaged on October 3rd, 2012 (the mission's 57th Martian day), this black-and-white mosaic offers a striking contrast against the sandy backdrop of Mars. With its technological prowess and tireless exploration efforts, NASA continues pushing boundaries in planetary science and unlocking mysteries about our neighboring celestial bodies. As we marvel at this extraordinary photograph, it serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth's confines. Through missions like these, we inch closer towards unraveling the secrets hidden within our solar system while expanding our understanding of distant worlds like Mars.
