   I knew that Mars was an evil place. Why, just look, there’s no color!

   From the photo, Crisp at NASA and her colleagues were able to determine that Mount Sharp is located roughly 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) away from Curiosity. Apparently there are no obstacles in the way of the rover – which will be clambering the mountain. Sharp said “It’s taller than any mountain in the lower 48 states, [so it's] pretty spectacular,” Crisp also said “What catches your eye are the dark dunes piled up along the base of Mount Sharp.” Utterly amazing.
