Thanks to Curiosity for the great photos that were just sent from Mars

The little Curiosity robot is exploring the foot of Sharp Mountain on Mars, and has just sent home commemorative photos during his long journey. Sharp photos with full color give us a new perspective on the strange clusters on this Red Planet.

Taken at the lower part of Mount Sharp , the mountain was discovered in the 1970s. This mountain is a giant piece of soil created from a layer of eroded sediment, a high-grade sediment that has been extruded to high levels. up to 5.5km. It is unclear where this sediment comes from, but scientists estimate that it will take 2 billion years for this Sharp Mountain to be formed.

The photographs were taken on September 8 in the Murray Buttes - Murray Ground and, as their name suggests, a large area is filled with flat topsoil and mountains.

Photos were taken on September 8 at Murray Buttes.

We can find such low soil and mountain tissue both on Earth and Mars. The only difference between them is the size. Most geographers say that soil tissue has a height greater than width, while a mountain of flat top is much wider but not so high.

These mounds, which are higher than the average terrain of Murray Buttes, are thought to be the remains of an ancient Martian rock. The new images Curiosity sent will give scientists a clearer view of the serene classes here, as well as the topographic structure of the Martian surface.

"Studying these soil tissues with a close and clear distance will give us the opportunity to better understand the ancient dunes, but the chemical reactions that occur in the ground structure changes, have taken place since It's been a long time and created Mars that we see today, ' says Ashwin Vasavada, a scientist with the Curiosity project.

During the past month, the Curiosity robot has been "hanging out" in the Murray Buttes area of ​​this Sharp Mountain, and he is now ready to move on to the higher section.

According to NASA, the Curiosity operating team intends to recreate a few pictures from the robot images sent in the near future.
