The crater Curiosity has been climbing since 2012, with Mount Sharp at its centre.
The actual model file, as it will be printed. Drag to turn it.
Gale is 154 kilometres wide with a five-kilometre mountain of layered sediment rising from the middle. Those layers are why the rover was sent: each one records a different chapter of the planet's water history.
