ALT A black and white image taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover shows its metal wheels on rugged Martian terrain. The foreground features the rover's right-front and middle wheels, with visible wear and tear on their surfaces. Beneath the wheels, the ground is strewn with jagged rocks and patches of rippled sand, highlighting the harsh and uneven landscape of Mars.
ALT A self-portrait of the Curiosity rover on Mars is shown. It was captured on Sol 84 (October 31, 2012) using the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on the robotic arm. The image shows the rover at "Rocknest" in Gale Crater, with visible scoop marks in the foreground regolith. Curiosity’s deck, camera mast, and port-side wheels are in view, with Mount Sharp in the background to the right and the northern rim of Gale Crater stretching across the horizon under a hazy Martian sky.
ALT A purple-hued poster shows one of the large dishes at one of three Deep Space Network complexes. The color is meant to represent the evening at the complexes and the dish stands out in a purplish-white color. Toward the top right corner is a white NASA meatball logo and along the bottom left corner it says "Don't leave Earth without us." To the bottom right it says, "Deep Space Network" and "Goldstone, Canberra, Madrid."
