CNN —The Curiosity rover has captured a stunning new mosaic that reveals the dramatic, colorful hues of morning and afternoon light on the surface of Mars.
One panorama was taken at 9:20 a.m., while the other was taken at 3:40 p.m., both local Mars time.
The image is similar to another postcard taken by Curiosity in November 2021.
Curiosity has been exploring the foothills of the 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer) Mount Sharp at the center of Gale Crater since it landed in 2012.
“Mars’ shadows get sharper and deeper when there’s low dust and softer when there’s lots of dust,” Ellison said.
