Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on February 1, 2014 We have encountered a new sort of landscape, our first sand dune, at a locality we call Dingo Gap. We will soon see a lot more of these in time as we traverse across to Mt. Sharp.

Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on August 22, 2012 My favourite MSL image so far. This one shows the extended robotic arm pointing towards the rim of Gale Crater and part of Mt. Sharp on the horizon, where, ultimately, it is heading.
