Curiosity Blog, Sols 5036-5042: Watching the Clouds Go By

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its right navigation camera (Navcam) on Sol 5037 to capture a pre-sunset zenith cloud movie, recording the season's first high-altitude twilight clouds over Gale Crater. Mars Year 39 began in late September, and Gale Crater has entered autumn. The team completed wrap-up work at the "Basque Lakes" drill site, the SAM team added an extra GCMS experiment, and after the weekend the rover will drive toward the "Chiu Chiu" area.
