Curiosity Rovers Boxwork Campaign Reaches New Heights on Mount Sharp
Curiosity has made significant progress in its ongoing exploration of the intricate boxwork terrain along the slopes of Mount Sharp. The past several sols have brought the rover from the base of a steep ridge to a resting point within a nearby hollow, offering increasingly detailed views of these unique Martian formations. This marks a new phase in Curiosity's campaign to analyze the composition Mars glaciers are purer and more uniform than previously thought
On the slopes of Martian mountains and craters clings what appears to be flowing honey, coated in dust and frozen in time. In reality, these features are incredibly slow-moving glaciers, and their contents were once thought to be mostly rock enveloped in some ice.
Work over the last 20 years has demonstrated that at least some of these glaciers are mostly pure ice with only a thin cover of NASA says it will lose about 20 percent of its workforce
