This computer-generated images depicts part of Mars at the boundary between darkness and daylight, with an area including Gale Crater, beginning to catch morning light. The Gale Crater is 96 miles (154 kilometers) in diameter and holds a layered mountain rising about 3 miles (5 kilometers) above the crater floor. The intended landing site is at 4.5 degrees south latitude, 137.4 degrees east longitude.

#Curiosity is a car-sized #rover designed to explore #GaleCrater on #Mars as part of NASA's #MarsScienceLaboratoryMission #MSL . Curiosity was launched from #CapeCanaveral on November 26, 2011, at 15:02 pm aboard the MSL spacecraft and landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater on Mars on August 6, 2012, 05:17 am. The #BradburyLanding site was less than 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the center of the rover's touchdown target after a 560 million km (350 million mi) journey. The rover's goals include an #investigation of the #Martian #climate and #geology ; assessment of whether the selected field site inside Gale Crater has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for #microbial life, including investigation of the role of #water ; and planetary habitability studies in preparation for human exploration. In December 2012, Curiosity's two-year #mission was extended indefinitely. On August 5, 2017, #NASA celebrated the #FifthAnniversary of the #CuriosityRover landing and related exploratory accomplishments on the planet Mars. The rover is still operational, and as of July 31, 2018, Curiosity has been on Mars for 2127 sols (2185 total days) since landing on August 6, 2012.

Mars rover's home crater was a potential hotbed for life
Mars rover’s home crater was a potential hotbed for life
NASA landed the Curiosity rover in Mars’ Gale Crater precisely because it promised to be a sort of open book that revealed a lot about the planet’s history. Well, scientists have been busy reading… and it looks like the crater had an intriguing past. Two newly published research papers indicate that Gale was a warm lake for for a period of about 700 million years, ending about 3.1 billion years…
