First of all, I completely stole this headline from NASA engineer Bobak Ferdowski (AKA The Mohawk Guy) on Twitter. Second, this is just a great image of the Curiosity rover sitting on Mars, including views of its tracks and where it did a wheelie or two. Plus, where the rover now sits is a very intriguing region called “The Kimberly.” Curiosity will soon whip out its drill to see if it can find hints of organic material, which could be a biomarker — the holy grail of Mars exploration.
Find out why this is such an intriguing region in this video:
Um, you can see a car on Mars. MT“@HiRISE: Curiosity Ready to Drill http://t.co/jpCf2q0mHB pic.twitter.com/WQSsmMzc99”
