Good golly, miss MAHLI 📸 Over the weekend, I snapped some close-ups with my Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) instrument. Check out this cool one of the drill hole from the last sample I gathered.
An up-close color image of a drill hole done by the Curiosity rover is shown on the surface of Mars. The hole has dust and bits of rock surrounding it.
