Curiosity rover used its arm mounted MAHLI camera to capture close up images of one of the knobby/bumpy rocks in its workspace on sol 4479. Attached is an animated GIF using three focus stacked images that were acquired by moving the rover's robotic arm between images. The camera standoff was 25/30cm from the target which provides us with an scene width of ~15cm. Credits:NASA/JPL-Caltech

With #LPSC2025 about to start, it's time to share what I've been working on during the last months.
This is a new high resolution 3D model of the Mont Mercou outcrop, that I made during my recent internship at LPG Nantes.

Curiosity rover wheels inspection: huge hole on this one!

Canadian instrument helps Curiosity discover Martian crystals

In May 2024, while the Curiosity rover was exploring the rugged Martian terrain, it rolled over a rock that cracked open, revealing a surprising discovery: glimmering sulfur crystals. Something never seen before on the red planet!

These crystals are pure, elemental #sulfur, which is unexpected on Mars.
