NASA’s Curiosity rover is currently exploring the “Murray Buttes” region of lower Mount Sharp, where it captured these beautiful color images of eroded rock formations. The pictures are so crisp and detailed, it’s as if we’re right there on the Martian surface. Curiosity captured these images using its Mastcam on Thursday, September 8. The images reveal Martian buttes and mesas—the eroded remnants of ancient sandstone that first formed when winds deposited sand after Mount Sharp had formed.
