Hard to believe but Curiosity has been trundling round Mars now for 13 years!
I've followed the little rover from time to time and one of my favourite NASA images this season is this one from September.
It a fabulous vista showing a range of craggy ridges off Mount Sharp with the 'boxworks' in the foreground.
So stunning yet it could be the East coast of Yorkshire near me!
In a world of uncertain chaos I'm always grateful for the work of NASA and the thought of Curiosity up there on Mars makes me smile.

Great image. I was always struck by the shots from the Huygens probe coming into land on Titan. It looked like it was flying over Earth, except the rocks were ice and the oceans were hydrocarbons!
