NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars shares 'rare postcard' of Red Planet's stunning landscape
NASA's Curiosity rover has shared a "rare postcard" snap from Mars, capturing the stunning and expansive landscape on the Red Planet.With the ten-year anniversary of Curiosity's launch coming tomorrow (November 26), the rover's team decided to capture the image as the robotic explorer ventured around the planet's Mount Sharp.A statement from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory read: "The mission team was so inspired by the beauty of the landscape, they combined two versions of the black-and-white images from different times of the day and added colours to create a rare postcard from the Red Planet." Colouring technology was used to add blue, orange, and green hues to the jaw-dropping landscape around the peak of Gale Crater.
