NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has used the drill on its robotic arm to take 32 rock samples to date. The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), a camera on the end of the robotic arm, provided the images in this mosaic.

    Are they drilling into very different types of rock or is this area (the basin) fairly homogenous?

      The debris and surrounding rock looks likes it’s a few different colors, so I’d guess it’s different types of rock.
