These are the first two full-resolution
images of the Martian surface from the Navigation cameras on NASA's Curiosity
rover, which are located on the rover's "head" or mast. The rim of
Gale Crater can be seen in the distance beyond the pebbly ground.
The topography of the rim is very
mountainous due to erosion. The ground seen in the middle shows low-relief
scarps and plains. The foreground shows two distinct zones of excavation likely
carved out by blasts from the rover's descent stage thrusters.
These are full-resolution images, 1024
by 1024 pixels in size.
