 This APOD from December 27, 2012 is a picture of the Curiosity rover on Mars. It is at a place called "rocknest" where there are groups of stones. Curiosity is also set to explore the smooth soil on its left which they surmise to have been created by a martian wind. The mountain behind Curiosity to the right is Mt. Sharp. Several analyzed samples have revealed the presence of carbon organic material.
