Core point

NASA's Curiosity rover discovered a field of Martian polygons on June 19 and 20, 2026. This area features numerous polygonal shapes, which are typically formed by various geological processes. The polygons range in size from 2 to 4 inches in diameter and surround a sand-capped butte named 'Miraflores.' The panorama was created from 340 images and is part of Curiosity's ongoing mission to explore Mars.
