Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 19:37:57 GMT

(CNN) — The Curiosity rover has captured a stunning new mosaic that reveals the dramatic, colorful hues of morning and afternoon light on the surface of Mars.The robotic explorer used its black-and-white navigation cameras to take panoramas of the Marker Band Valley on April 8 before leaving the site. One panorama was taken at 9:20 a.m., while the other was taken at 3:40 p.m., both local Mars time.The black-and-white panoramas captured how different the landscape looks at two different times of day, and color was added in post-processing by a team at NASA.
