Curiosity

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity drove about 70 feet (about 21 meters) on the mission's 21st Martian day, or sol (Aug. 30, 2012) and then took images with its Navigation Camera that are combined into this scene, which includes the fresh tracks. The landing area can be seen with the disruption of the grown cover by the landing rocket exhaust. Curiosity will now begin the long drive on it's exploration of Mars.
