HiRISE Watches Curiosity Journey Across the Clay Unit

This animation shows the position of NASA's Curiosity rover as it journeyed 1,106 feet (337 meters) through an area of Mount Sharp called "the clay-bearing unit" between May 31 and July 20, 2019. Each of these two images were taken by the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The first image shows the rover, which appears as a gray speck, at a location called "Woodland Bay" (top center). The second shows "Sandside Harbour" (bottom center, near the dark sand patch). Look carefully and you can even see the rover's tracks arcing to the right of the second image. Animation available at https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23377
