Explanation: If you could stand on Mars, what would you see? The
above image is a digitally re-colored approximation of what you might see if the above Martian landscape had occurred on Earth. Images from Mars false-colored in this way are called
white balanced and useful for planetary scientists to identify rocks and
landforms similar to Earth. The image is a high resolution version of a distant wall of
Gale Crater captured by the Curiosity rover that
landed on Mars last week. A
corresponding true color image exists showing how this scene actually appears
on Mars. The robotic
Curiosity rover continues to check itself over and accept
new programming from Earth before it begins to roll across Mars and
explore a landscape that has the appearance of being an
unusually layered dried river bed.
