Curiosity stands at the ready prior to its journey. After launching in late 2011 and traveling more than eight months to reach Mars, the rover touched down in Gale Crater on August 6, 2012, (late August 5 in much of North America). In its first year on the Red Planet, Curiosity has sent back more than 190 gigabits of data to Earth, as well as tens of thousands of photos. In this gallery we'll revisit some of the best shots from (and of) our most advanced rover/mobile science lab on Mars.
