A June 2012 revision of the landing target area for Curiosity, the big rover of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission, reduces the area’s size. It also puts the center of the landing area closer to Mount Sharp, which bears geological layers that are the mission’s prime destination. (Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ESA/DLR/FU Berlin/MSSS)
