The Road Traveled...

Just thought I'd post this cool photo taken by the Curiosity rover's navigation camera as she drove over a couple of Martian dunes known as the Dingo Gap last week. This image was shot on February 6, with the six-wheeled robot having driven a total of 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) across Gale Crater since arriving there in 2012. Curiosity continues to make her way towards her main science destination, Mount Sharp...which she should hopefully reach by the end of this year.
