POV: you’re rolling around on the Red Planet You’re looking at six years on Mars in under two minutes. This timelapse contains images captured by our Curiosity rover between 2020 and 2026 from one of its navigation cameras. These photos, looking behind the rover, help our scientists choose Martian rocks to study. Curiosity first arrived on Mars in 2012 after launching from Earth the year before. Since then, it’s been digging into the history of Mars, studying what the Red Planet looked like when it may have been home to microbial life. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech #NASA #Curiosity #TBT
