Ken Edgett, principal investigator, Malin Space Science Systems, describes the first view of the north wall and rim of Gale Crater, top, where NASA's rover Curiosity landed Sunday night, during a news briefing at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2012. The picture was taken by the rover's camera at the end of its stowed robotic arm and appears fuzzy because of dust on the camera.
