According to RT, Curiosity photos were shared by the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) on the official website on August 19. The exploration robot uses Mast Camera (Mastcam) camera to capture dozens of frames on August 5, 2016, 4 years after Curiosity landed inside the Gale crater.

The Curiosity area pictured is Murray Buttes , a peak forming in Sharp Mountain in the Gale crater. The peak is named after planetary scientist Bruce Murray, director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is responsible for Curiosity.

Curiosity robots are on a mission to expand on the red planet to monitor the current development process. According to NASA, the probe will check how and why Mars turns into arid land that is no longer suitable for life as before.

In June this year, Curiosity detected high levels of manganese oxide on Mars, a sign that there was abundant oxygen."The only way on Earth to make manganese oxide that we know is related to atmospheric oxygen or bacteria, " said Nina Lanza, planetary scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA. , said.
