Bathurst Inlet, Mars, Curiosity image C015 / 6504
Bathurst Inlet. Close-up of a rock called Bathurst Inlet on the surface of Mars taken by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on NASAs Curiosity Rover. The rock is dark grey and appears to be so fine-grained that MAHLI cannot resolve grains or crystals in it. This means that the grains or crystals, if there are any at all, are smaller than about 80 microns in size. Imaged on 2nd October 2012

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing landscape of Bathurst Inlet on Mars, captured by NASA's Curiosity Rover. The image, taken on October 2nd, 2012, offers a close-up view of a rock aptly named Bathurst Inlet. Standing out against the black background of space, this dark grey rock exhibits an incredibly fine-grained texture that even the powerful Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) cannot resolve its individual grains or crystals. The significance lies in the fact that if there are any grains or crystals present within this rock formation, they must be smaller than a mere 80 microns in size. This remarkable detail sheds light on the geological composition and mineralogy of Martian soil and rocks. It exemplifies how cutting-edge technology like MAHLI enables us to explore and conduct research into our neighboring planet's mysteries. As part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission, Curiosity Rover continues to push boundaries in astrogeology and planetary science. This merged focus image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our solar system beyond Earth. With its intricate details and scientific value, this photograph is not only visually striking but also represents the culmination of technological advancements in space exploration during the 21st century. It stands as a reminder that we are constantly pushing boundaries and expanding our understanding of distant worlds like Mars through missions like Curiosity Rover.
