This image was taken by the MARDI camera onboard NASA's Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4363 (November 14, 2024) just after 8am local Mars Solar Time.

The Mars Descent Imager (MARDI) acquired hundreds of natural colour images at a rate of 4 frames per second during Curiosity’s descent to the Martian surface on August 6th, 2012.

Still operational on the surface of Mars, MARDI is now used to image under the rover to support science and engineering activities.
