NASA's MRO Spots Curiosity Rover Climbing Mount Sharp On Mars

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has shared a bird's eye view picture of Curiosity rover as it flew past the Red Planet's Mount Sharp at an altitude of 269.4 kms. The rover had landed on Mars in August 2012, and has been climbing Mount Sharp since 2014, examining the area's rock deposits to determine the cause of the planet's desertification. MRO's sharp-eyed HiRISE camera consistently keeps an eye on the rover.
