Every now and then I want to check in to see what the Curiosity Rover is seeing on Mars. You can too, on the American Geophysical Union's "Martian Chronicles" blog (https://blogs.agu.org/martianchronicles/ ).
The most recent entry is entitled "Take Only Pictures, Leave Only Wheel Tracks", and it includes a pretty nice shot of the location that Curiosity is currently occupying.
Apparently the robot couldn't get stable enough to deploy its full instrument set, so they took this picture and moved on.
It's just alien enough to be real, yet otherworldly.
