This map shows the route of the NASA rovers Curiosity in the first 43 Martian solar days (called solami) on the planet Mars (solar day on Mars is almost equal to the earth - 24 h 39 min) during the execution of the mission on Mars (September 19, 2012)...

The route starts from the contact with the surface of Mars rover, that is from the landing site, later known as the landing site Bradbury (in honor of the American science fiction writer Ray Bradbury, who passed away recently). 

UCLA scientist discovers plate tectonics on Mars

Many scientists had thinking plate tectonics that survive nowhere but in our solar system on Earth. Now, a UCLA scientist has discovered that the geological phenomenon, Which Involves the movement of huge crustal plates beneath a planet's surface, also exists on Mars.

"Mars is at a primitive stage of plate tectonics. Gives us a glimpse It of how the Earth early May have looked and may help us understand how plate tectonics on Earth Began," said An Yin, a UCLA professor of Earth and space sciences and the sole author of the new research.
