About this work
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured this panorama – showing the area it climbed to reach Gediz Vallis channel – using its left black-and-white navigation camera on Feb. 1, 2024, the 4,084th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The panorama is made up of 10 images that were stitched together after being sent back to Earth. At center is the slope Curiosity ascended, which is striped with alternating dark and light bands of sedimentary rock.
