Curiosity's future route to Mount Sharp

Curiosity's future route to Mount Sharp
Curiosity's future route to Mount Sharp A view to the south from Curiosity's position on sol 2287 encompasses what the team hopes will be Curiosity's future path. In the foreground is the clay-bearing unit identified from orbit. In the middle ground is a plateau, the Greenheugh Pediment. Beyond that, the steep yardangs of Mount Sharp. Image processor Seán Doran placed a properly scaled CGI model of Curiosity into the image -- can you spot it? NASA / JPL-Caltech / MSSS / Seán Doran
