NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured evidence of layers that built up as windblown sand both accumulated and was scoured away at a location nicknamed “Las Claritas.” This image was captured using Curiosity’s Mast Camera, or Mastcam, on May 19, 2022, the 3,478th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.

Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z camera system to create this enhanced-color panorama, which scientists used to look for rock-sampling sites. The panorama is stitched together from 70 individual images taken on July 28, 2021, the 155th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
This 360-degree mosaic from the “Airey Hill” location inside Jezero Crater was generated using 993 individual images taken by the Perseverance Mars rover’s Mastcam-Z from Nov. 3-6. The rover remained parked at Airey Hill for several weeks during solar conjunction.
Taken by the veteran spacecraft’s black-and-white Context Camera, or CTX, the images cover nearly 270 square feet (25 square meters) of surface per pixel. That makes the Global CTX Mosaic of Mars the highest-resolution global image of the Red Planet ever created.
The map shows topographic features and surface coloring that are typically visible in reflected sunlight. Three features are labeled: Syrtis Major, a dark-colored volcanic region; the Huygens Crater, a complex impact crater; and the Hellas Basin, the largest preserved impact structure on Mars.
