After two years on the surface of Mars, Curiosity has finally reached its primary science destination: the foot of Mount Sharp, or to give its official name Aeolis Mons. It will now slowly climb Mount Sharp, drilling into rocks and analyzing a series of interesting boundaries between different strata -- layers of geologically interesting rock that have found their way to the surface and can tell us a lot about the history of the Red Planet.
