Curiosity wylądował na Marsie z odchyłką około 2 kilometrów od centrum elipsy lądowania.

Curiosity landed at the base of Mount Sharp in Gale Crater, which scientists believe was once a lake. Since then, Curiosity has been exploring Gale Crater, collecting data on soil, rock formations, and weather.

https://twitter.com/spacemen1969/status/1687864807997976577#OTD in 2012, Mars rover Curiosity arrived at the Red Planet to begin a decade of exploration. It landed at Gale Crater where it has been conducting science to learn more about Mars's past habitable environment.

(...) To date, Curiosity has traveled 18.9 miles from its landing site, captured over a million images, and discovered that Mars once possessed all of the geochemical ingredients required by life. For an 11-year-old rover, Curiosity is remarkably healthy, and she continues to return valuable data on how Mars lost its habitability. (...)
However, as of this writing, Curiosity has temporarily paused to investigate a different type of feature. The Jau crater cluster contains some of the only craters on Mount Sharp, since the unceasing erosion of the mountain’s flanks has erased most impact scars. “The team is hoping to assess the target rocks, any evidence for the impactor, and the morphology of the craters,” said USGS planetary scientist Lauren Edgar. [2] In particular, the rover team is hunting for meteorite fragments in the vicinity of the craters. The chemistry of the impactor could reveal whether it came from the asteroid belt, or whether it was ejected by a larger impact elsewhere on Mars. Thus far, the search for meteorites at the Jau cluster has been unsuccessful, but Curiosity did encounter a large, reflective meteorite made of nickel and iron in January. (...)
