A handout picture dated 08 September 2016, issued by NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS on 09 September 2016 showing the rim of Gale Crater visible in the distance, through the dusty haze, in this view of a sloping hillside on Mount Sharp as pictured by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover. NASA says the Martian buttes and mesas rising above the surface are eroded remnants of ancient sandstone that originated when winds deposited sand after lower Mount Sharp had formed.
