Hello Everyone, Welcome to Naukluft Plateau, Planet Mars.
This early-morning view from the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover covers
a field of view of about 130 degrees of the inner wall of Gale Crater.
It was acquired during a period when there was very little dust or haze in the atmosphere,
so conditions were optimal for long-distance imaging.
The right side of the image fades into the glare of the rising sun.
The rover's location was on the "Naukluft Plateau" of lower Mount Sharp, inside Gale
Crater.
The view spans from west-northwest on the left to northeast on the right.
Mastcam's right-eye camera, which has a telephoto lens, took the component images during the
1,284th sol, or Martian day, of Curiosity's work on Mars.
