A grayscale photo from the Martian surface shows the Curiosity rover’s robotic arm reaching down to investigate a targeted rock. The surrounding terrain is very rocky and uneven, with stones of varied shapes and sizes pushing up out of the ground, everything a similar dark shade of gray. The soil between the rocks appears wavy in many places, as if sculpted by wind or water, and most of the rocks look like they have formed from horizontal layers stacking on one another, in the relatively short elevation they rise from the surface, looking like 3D versions of hills indicated on a topographic map. The rover’s arm extends down to the center of the image from the upper left corner of the frame where, at a pivot point, it bends at roughly 90-degree angle toward the left side of the image and out of the frame. The arm itself is bright-toned, nearly white, with a metallic sheen; the pivot point and the boxy suite of instruments at the end of the arm near the ground are mainly dark gray or black, with multiple knobby protrusions.

This animated image shows a close-up view of a flat, dusty, tan-colored rock surface with fine cracks and small, dark specks scattered across it. In the animation, a hole appears in the center of the frame, with loose powdered material surrounding the hole. The surrounding rock surface remains unchanged, highlighting the freshly drilled hole and the fine texture of the rock.

At the center is a thin vertical cloud known as Lynds 483 that is shaped like an hourglass with irregular edges. At lower center are two discrete bright white, tiny blobs of light that have raced away from the hidden central stars. The top lobe shows a more prominent orange U-shape. Orange bleeds into light purple, and brighter pink at its edges. Some background stars are visible through sections of this lobe. Higher up, there is an orange arc. Some brighter pink material extends to the top edges near the center. In the lower lobe, less orange is visible. More opaque light purple is in its top third, rippling out into semi-transparent blues and pinks. The lower lobe has more texture. V-shapes left and right of the lobes are darkest, and the background stars in these areas appear orange. Elsewhere, the black background of space is clearer, speckled with tiny white stars and faint orange galaxies.
