Dark Bands Run Through Light Layers (Annotated) This mosaic from the Mast Camera on NASA's Curiosity rover shows a close-up view looking toward the "Glenelg" area, where three different terrain types come together. All three types are observed from orbit with the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. By driving there, Curiosity will be able to explore them.

One of these terrain types is light-toned with well-developed layering, which likely records the deposition of sedimentary materials. There are also black bands that run through the area and might constitute additional layers that alternate with the light-toned layer(s). The black bands are not easily seen from orbit and are on the order of about 3.3-feet (1-meter) thick. Both of these layer types are important science targets.

This mosaic is composed of images taken with the Mastcam 100-millimeter camera.

Polski: Ciemne pasma przebiegające wzdłuż jasnych warstw

Ta mozaika zdjęć wykonanych przez jedną z kamer masztowych należącego do NASA łazika Curiosity pokazuje zbliżenie terenu, patrząc w stronę obszaru "Glenelg", w którym spotykają się trzy różne typy terenu. Wszystkie trzy typy terenu są obserwowane z orbity przez teleskop HiRISE zamontowany na orbiterze Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Kiedy Curiosity dojedzie do obszaru Glenelg będzie prowadzić eksploracje tego obszaru.

Jednym z trzech typów jest teren jasno stonowany, z dobrze rozwiniętą strukturą warstw, który prawdopodobnie zawiera nagromadzone materiały osadowe. Istnieją także ciemne pasy, przebiegające przez obszar Glenelg i mogą stanowić dodatkowe warstwy, przeplatane z warstwami jasnymi. Ciemne pasy nie są łatwo widoczne z orbity i są rzędu około 1 metra grubości. Oba typy tych warstw są związane z ważnymi oczekiwaniami naukowców względem badań planowanych na tym obszarze.

Mozaika ta, składa się ze zdjęć wykonanych przez jedną z dwu kamer masztowych ang. MastCam, kamerą 100-milimetrową.
