Nasa scientists in California have revealed a distant image of Curiosity taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter . It was taken from an altitude of 300km ( 187 miles ) up , revealing where the rover is heading towards . One interesting aspect is that the rover 's tracks can not be seen behind it in the image . This may be due to Martian weather or that they are the same colour as the surrounding surface .
