k Wall of Gale Crater on Mars, original Wall of Gale Crater on Mars, obtained by NASAs Curiosity rover. This rover, part of the Mars Science Laboratory MSL mission, landed here on 6 August 2012. This area of crater wall is north of the landing site. A network of valleys here is believed to have formed by water erosion a fluvial system. Such networks date from a time when water flowed freely across the surface. The main channel deposit is the white zigzag at centre, resembling a dirt road. This feature is some 18 kilometres from the rover. Image obtained by Curiositys 34mm Mast Camera on 9 August 2012. For the same image, brightened to aid analysis, see C0144932.

Wall of Gale Crater on Mars, obtained by NASA's Curiosity rover. This rover, part of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission, landed here on 6 August 2012. This area of crater wall is north of the landing site. A network of valleys here is believed to have formed by water erosion (a fluvial system). Such networks date from a time when water flowed freely across the surface. The main channel deposit is the white zig-zag at centre, resembling a dirt road.
