Curiosity Begins Capturing Martian Kodak Moments

Following the most complex landing ever attempted on Mars, NASA's most advanced Mars rover to date landed on the Red Planet at 10:32 p.m. PDT on Sunday. Dubbed "Curiosity," the one-ton, car-sized rover had been in flight for 36 weeks. Its complicated touchdown -- including the final severing of the bridle cords and flyaway maneuver of the rocket backpack -- settled the device near the foot of a mountain three miles tall and 96 miles in diameter inside the Red Planet's Gale Crater.
