Curiosity captures Martian dawn and wind-eroded yardang terrain

Curiosity used Mastcam to capture the Martian dawn and elongated ridges formed by wind erosion (yardangs) on sol 4,982, August 11; the panorama was assembled from 6 individual images after transmission to Earth and released on October 6. This is the most detailed view yet of distant wind-eroded Martian cliffs, and mission scientists look forward to seeing these features up close.
