This view from Curiosity rover’s Mastcam shows a network of 2-tone mineral veins at the Garden City area on lower Mount Sharp, Mars. This is a mosaic combining 28 images taken with Mastcam’s right-eye camera, which has a telephoto lens with a focal length of 100 mm. The component images were taken on March 18, 2015, during the 929th Martian day of Curiosity’s work on the Red Planet. The color has been approximately white-balanced to resemble how the scene would appear under daytime lighting conditions on Earth. Image credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech / MSSS.
