NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover is wheeling its way westward through a valley called “Artist’s Drive.”

In the 12 months following its August 2012 landing, Curiosity has found evidence for ancient streambeds and a lakebed environment more than 3 billion years ago that offered conditions favorable for microbial life.

The rover is now examining a layered mountain inside Gale Crater for evidence about how ancient environmental conditions evolved.
