While the Curiosity rover is busy exploring the Martian surface, I'm busy trying to find my place in high school and at JPL. >>

NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission is approaching its biggest turning point since landing its rover, Curiosity, inside Mars' Gale Crater last summer. >>

Data collected by NASA's Curiosity rover on the way to Mars is providing NASA with information it needs to design systems to protect humans from radiation on deep-space expeditions. >>

A new report tells how rocks examined by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity reveal details of how deep and how fast water once flowed in an ancient Martian stream. >>

The 16 frames in this time-lapse movie show how repeated laser shots from the Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity cause a pit to form at the target point in Martian soil. >>

One priority target for a closer look by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity before the rover departs the "Glenelg" area east of its landing site is the pitted outcrop called "Point Lake," in the upper half of this image. >>

This image taken by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows the texture of the patch of flat-lying bedrock called "Cumberland," which was the mission's second target for use of the rover's sample-collecting drill. >>

This sequence of images from the Front Hazard-Avoidance Camera on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows the rover drilling into rock target "Cumberland." >>

This map shows where Curiosity landed in August 2012 at "Bradbury Landing"; the area where the rover worked from November 2012 through May 2013; and the mission's next major destination, the entry point to the base of Mount Sharp. >>

NASA's Curiosity rover found evidence for an ancient, flowing stream on Mars at a few sites, including the rock outcrop pictured here, which the science team has named "Hottah" after Hottah Lake in Canada's Northwest Territories. >>

Curiosity is at Point Lake on Mars and will snap pictures to send home. Find out more about the rover's 17 cameras, including why some shoot in color and others others take black-and-white images. >>

NASA's Curiosity rover switches to long-distance driving mode as she heads to Mount Sharp. >>

NASA's Curiosity finds that the Red Planet doesn't have the same atmosphere it used to. >>

My parts are similar to what a human would need to explore Mars (body, brains, eyes, arm, legs, etc.). Check it out though--sometimes they are located in odd places! >>
