"Stunning Postcards from Mars: Curiosity Rover's Latest Captures"
NASA's Curiosity rover has captured a stunning postcard of Marker Band Valley on Mars, showing the same region in the morning and afternoon. The image was created by combining two panoramas taken by the rover's black-and-white navigation cameras on April 8, 2023. The postcard view shows the intricate details of the scene, with the morning-afternoon contrast revealing the dramatically different lighting conditions at Marker Band Valley. The image also shows key parts of the rover, including its three antennas, nuclear power source, and an instrument called the Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD).
