"Curiosity Rover Explores Striped Terrain on Mars"

NASA's Curiosity rover is currently exploring an ancient ridge on the side of Mount Sharp, a peak in a crater on Mars, and is capturing images of dramatic striped terrain. The rover is investigating the remnants of ancient water flows and debris deposits, aiming to understand the formation processes and timeline of these features. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter recently captured an image of Curiosity as it ascends a steep ridge, providing a unique perspective of the rover's exploration on the red planet.
