About this work
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its Mastcam to capture this mosaic of Gediz Vallis on Nov. 7, 2022, the 3,646th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. In the center of the valley in this image is a pile of boulders and debris that may have been swept there by flowing water billions of years ago. Wind is thought to have carved the larger valley, which starts much higher up on Mount Sharp, the 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) Martian mountain whose foothills Curiosity has been ascending since 2014.
