NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured this view using its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, while heading west away from Gediz Vallis channel on Nov. 2, 2024, the 4,352nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission. This panorama is made up of two mosaics: one consisting of 171 individual images taken at 12:16 p.m. local Mars time; and another consisting of 169 at 12:46 p.m. local Mars time. The color has been adjusted to match lighting conditions as the human eye would see them on Earth. Rover tracks can be seen trailing behind Curiosity at right. The difficult, rocky terrain made for slow going. The butte on the left side of the scene is nicknamed "Texoli"; the butte dominating the right side of the scene is nicknamed "Kukenán." https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA26471
