Curiosity at Murray Buttes on Mars
NASA's Curiosity rover is exploring the Murray Buttes on Mars, seen ahead in this 360-degree image taken inside Gale Crater. These 15-meter-high buttes are similar to Earth buttes, capped with dense rock that resists erosion. Curiosity's robotic arm and hand are visible in the center, used to examine the Martian rocks.
