Candidate Drilling Target On Mars Doesn't Pass Exam
Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Uploader comment: This image from the front Hazard Avoidance Camera (Hazcam) on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows the rover's drill in place during a test of whether the rock beneath it, "Bonanza King," would be an acceptable target for drilling to collect a sample. Subsequent analysis showed that the rock budged during the procedure and did not pass the test.
