NASA's Curiosity Rover Explores Mars' Texoli Butte Amid New Challenges
NASA's Curiosity Rover is navigating the northern end of Texoli Butte on Mars, uncovering ancient sedimentary layers. Recent challenges forced the rover to stop its drive earlier than planned, delaying some imaging tasks. Despite this, scientific efforts continued, focusing on "Avalon," a dark bedrock vein, long-range imaging, and environmental obs...
