Curiosity Rover on the Move
ESP_060840_1750  Science Theme: 
This enhanced-color cutout shows Curiosity rover at a new location from the recent prior image. The pattern of bright spots over the rover is very similar in both images, so the rover probably was pointed in the same direction.

An animation of the two images shows how far it moved from 31 May to 20 July 20 2019.
