Curiosity sends back latest view of Mars - Technology & science - Space - Space.com - NBCNews.com: "A new full-circle photo from NASA's Curiosity rover shows the robotic explorer's fresh tracks on Mars as it continues trekking east toward its first science destination.

Curiosity drove roughly 70 feet (21 meters) on Aug. 30, the mission's 21st Martian day, toward a spot called Glenelg. This site, which is located 1,300 feet (400 meters) away from where the rover touched down on Mars last month, is home to three different types of terrain, making it an intriguing science target.
