A press release explains what viewers see before them: “The scenes show wind-sculpted textures in the sandstone bedrock close to the rover, and Gale Crater’s rim rising above the crater floor in the distance. Mount Sharp stands in the middle of the crater, which is about 96 miles (154 kilometers) in diameter.”

The rover is now heading back towards a lake-deposited mudstone surface 4.7 miles away to learn more about Mars’ microbial history.
