NASA solved this question. Strange spots appear in the first photos that Curiosity captured and are actually a large cloud of dust formed by robots when landing, which has a great impact on the surface of the landing.

"We believe it is due to the landing of robots that disturb the surface of Mars," said Steve Sell, curator of Curiosity's mission to land, on August 11 at the Anti-Engine Laboratory NASA force in California.

The robot crane was lowered first and then slowly lowered the laboratory to 1 ton to the ground and severed the wires and flew to a safe distance. NASA called Curiosity's landing process a 'horrifying 7 minutes'.
