NASA Releases Incredibly Detailed Photos of Curiosity Trekking Across Mars

Amazing images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show the Curiosity rover trudging across the Martian landscape. The photos date from early December 2013, as Curiosity made its way from the Glenelg area to its main destination, Mount Sharp. The pictures were taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The photos are so sharp that one can see Curiosity's parallel wheel tracks, which are only 10 feet (3 m) apart!
