NASA's Curiosity rover has captured an image showing dawn breaking over the Martian landscape, revealing ancient rock formations in Gale Crater near Mars' equator. The photo highlights wind-carved cliffs known as yardangs, which are believed to have formed about three billion years ago due to wind erosion after volcanic activity deposited sediment there. Planetary scientist Ashwin Vasavada describes these features…
