This picture of Curiosity's Martian landing site puts a color view obtained by the rover in the context of a computer simulation derived from images acquired from orbiting spacecraft. The view looks north, showing a distant ridge that is the north wall and rim of Gale Crater. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)
