Curiosity on Mars: A Wall of Gale Crater

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

If you could stand on Mars, you might see a landscape like this, a wall of Gale Crater. This image from the Curiosity rover has been digitally re-colored to approximate what it would look like on Earth. This 'white-balanced' view helps planetary scientists identify rocks and landforms similar to Earth's. Curiosity landed on Mars just last week.
