The foreground rocks are in an outcrop called
"Junda," which the rover passed during a drive of 328 feet (100
meters) on Feb. 19. It paused during the drive to take the component
images of the scene, then finished the day's drive. A location still
ahead, called "Kimberley," where researchers plan to suspend driving
for a period of science investigations, also features ground with striations.
NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project is using
Curiosity to assess ancient habitable environments and major changes in Martian
environmental conditions. JPL, a division of the California Institute of
Technology in Pasadena, built the rover and manages the project for NASA's
Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
