Curiosity Rover's Toughest Climb on Mars

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Curiosity rover, celebrating its 11th year on Mars, recently investigated a location called "Jau" that is filled with dozens of impact craters, providing scientists with a rare close-up view of Martian craters. The rover faced its toughest climb yet, navigating a steep 23-degree incline, slippery sand, and wheel-size rocks. Despite encountering challenges, the rover successfully reached the top and explored the Jau crater cluster. Curiosity's mission continues as it prepares to explore a new area higher up on Mount Sharp.
