Nasa curiosity mystery survey on surface of mars
After taking new samples of rock on 9 August Nasa rover Curiosity has been started taking observation surrounding near its self. The Umber skies and darkness due to a global dust storm can be seen in the picture which has been send by Curiosity rover.Some rare pictures also has been taken by the curiosity in these pictures we can see a thin layer of dust on curiosity deck
The recently drill target of Curiosity in foreground was Stoer. the name of drill target stoer is taken from a town of Scotland near where the important discoveries early life on earth were made in lakebed sediments.
Curiosity made happy to science team by giving new drill sample of rock of mars because last to drill attempts were not successful.
From the starting of this year curiosity started using a new method for drilling to work around mechanical problem.Testing has that it is effective method for drill in the comparison of old drilling method.Before using this method of drill suggesting there would have created problem to drill the hard rock but this method.
there is no way have Curiosity to determine how much hard the rock is without drilling it.so for this most recent drilling activity, the rover team made an educated guess. An extensive ledge on the ridge was thought to include harder rock, able to stand despite wind erosion; a spot below the ledge was thought more likely to have softer, erodible rocks. That strategy seems to have panned out, but questions still abound as to why Vera Rubin Ridge exists in the first place.
The rover has never encountered a place with so much variation in color and texture, according to Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity's project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. JPL leads the Mars Science Laboratory mission that Curiosity is a part of.
"The ridge isn't this monolithic thing -- it has two distinct sections, each of which has a variety of colors," Vasavada said. "Some are visible to the eye and even more show up when we look in near-infrared, just beyond what our eyes can see. Some seem related to how hard the rocks
