In the photo: a series of excavations in a small area on Mars that was nicknamed the "Rocknest" (Rocknest). The excavations were done using Curiosity's excavation device that collected samples for testing inside the vehicle at the SAM facility, which is designed to search for signatures of organic molecules - the building blocks of life. The colorful mosaic was pieced together from high-resolution images taken on days 74 and 93 of the mission. Photo: NASA / JPL-Caltech / MSSS/Ken Kremer / Marco Di Lorenzo

In the photo: Curiosity and the reddish equivalent of the Mojave Desert - the northern rim of Gale Crater in artificial colors. This artificially colored enclosure overlooks the eroded rim of Gale Crater in the background. On the left side you can see part of the vehicle's nuclear power source as well as the wide film antenna and other components on board the vehicle. This attachment was prepared from three high-resolution navigation camera images transmitted from the spacecraft during the night. Adapted by Ken Cramer and Marco De Lorenzo, Universe Today
