What happened
A newly released panorama captured by NASA's Curiosity rover (a vehicle that drives across another world’s surface) offers the most detailed view yet of distant, wind-carved Martian cliffs, highlighting features the mission's scientists have long been waiting to see up close. The scene was snapped at 8:30 a.m. local Mars time, showing striking blue hues in the foreground as bright morning light illuminates crags known as yardangs on the horizon. NASA is a public and space exploration company founded in 1958.
