Part 3/5:
Since its landing on Mars in 2012, NASA's Curiosity rover has been a pivotal tool in planetary science, exploring the Martian surface and climate. Over the years, it has attempted multiple times to access a specific area known as Gizvalis Ridge, a region believed to hold clues about the planet’s geological history.
After three previous unsuccessful attempts, NASA announced on September 18th that Curiosity has finally reached its destination. The rover's new vantage point and the photos it captured are expected to shed new light on Mars' ancient past, potentially reshaping our understanding of its climate history and the planet’s habitability.
