Summary edit

Description	English: This scene combines images taken by the left-eye camera of the Mast Camera (Mastcam) instrument on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover during the midafternoon, local Mars solar time, of the mission's 526th Martian day, or sol (Jan. 28, 2014). The sand dune in the upper center of the image spans a gap, called "Dingo Gap," between two short scarps. The dune is about 3 feet (1 meter) high. The nearer edge of it is about 115 feet (35 meters) away from the rover's position when the component images were taken, just after a Sol 526 drive of 49 feet (15 meters). The image has been white-balanced to show what the rocks would look like if they were on Earth. A version with 200-centimeter (79-inch) scale bars is available as Figure A. A version with raw color, as recorded by the camera under Martian lighting conditions, is available as Figure B. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the Mars Science Laboratory mission and the mission's Curiosity rover for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The rover was designed, developed and assembled at JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, built and operates Mastcam.

Polski: Zdjęcie to jest efektem połączenia serii zdjęć wykonanych przez aparat będący lewym okiem kamer masztowych, należącego do NASA łazika Curiosity, popołudniu według lokalnego czasu, w 526 marsjańskim dniu misji, (28 stycznia 2014 r). Piaszczysta wydma znajdująca się u góry w centrum obrazu, nazwana "Dingo Gap", została zawarta pomiędzy dwiema niewysokimi skarpami. Wydma jest wysoka na 1 metr. Bliższa krawędź wydmy jest oddalona około 35 metrów od miejsca znajdowania się łazika podczas gdy elementy składowe zdjęcia były realizowane, zaraz po zakończeniu etapu w 526 Sol wynoszącym 15 metrów. Zdjęcie było poddane regulacji równowagi bieli w taki sposób, aby odzwierciadlało ono wygląd skał, jak gdyby były one oświetlone w warunkach ziemskich.
