, newly launched photo snapped by a digital camera on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has captured the red planet's rugged terrain.
The 360-diploma panorama indicates the floor of Mars' "Naukluft Plateau," which is a part of the planet's most rugged and tricky-to-navigate stretch of land, NASA noted.
The area agency on Wednesday mentioned the rover, which has been on Mars for as a minimum 44 months, encountered the terrain in early March after spending a few weeks investigating sand dunes. It found that the plateau's sandstone bedrock has been "carved by eons of wind erosion into ridges and knobs," in keeping with NASA.
