'Like sands through the hourglass': NASA's Curiosity rover completes 3,000 days on Mars

United States ncy NASA has shared a recently captured parama by Mars rover Curiosity as it has completed 3,000 martian days or sols exploring Red Planet. rover has been on surface of Mars since August 6, 2012. NASA ted that rover is continuing to make new discoveries as it grually climbs up ‘Mount Sharp’ which is a 5-kilometre-tall mountain on Mars that rover has been exploring since 2014. In most recent im, according to NASA, most geologists were “intrigued” to see series of rock “benches”. NASA said, “It’s been 3,000 Martian days, or sols, since Curiosity touched down on Mars on Aug. 6, 2012, and rover keeps making new discoveries during its grual climb up Mount Sharp, 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) mountain it has been exploring since 2014. Geologists were intrigued to see a series of rock “benches” in most recent parama from mission.”

When was parama taken?

In statement, NASA elaborated that mission’s 2,946th sol, parama was captured by Mast Camera, or Mastcam after stitching toger at least 122 ims taken on vember 18 last year. Mast Camera is also termed at Curiosity rover’s “eyes”. US ncy also explained that towards centre of parama is "floor of Gale Crater, 96-mile-wide (154 kilometre-wide) bowl that Mount Sharp sits within". It furr ded, “On horizon is rth crater rim. To right is upper part of Mount Sharp, which has rock layers that were shaped by lakes and streams billions of years ago".

“Our science team is excited to figure out how y formed and what y mean for ancient environment within Gale,” said Curiosity’s project scientist, Ashwin Vasava of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Sourn California, which built and mans rover.
