DESCRIPTION:Planetary geology: The Mars Science Laboratory Rover Curiosity
  landed in Gale Crater on Mars on 6th of August 2012. The Gale Crater site
  was selected because orbiter data had revealed interesting mineralogy in 
 the central mount – Mt. Sharp – within the crater. Clay and sulfate wa
 s found and mapped from orbit. Since setting wheels on Martian soil\, the 
 rover has explored an ancient lake bed within the crater\, found exciting 
 mineralogy\, measured the atmosphere and the noble gases and methane withi
 n\; it now is on its way to the exciting outcrops of clay and sulfate mine
 rals in the foothills of Mt. Sharp. The talk will provide an overview over
  the rover\, its instruments\, and the exciting findings at Gale Crater.
