Mt Sharp

Mount Sharp, officially known as Aeolis Mons, is a 5.5-kilometer-high mountain located at the center of Gale Crater on Mars. It’s a key site for studying the planet’s geological and climate history. Formed over billions of years, Mount Sharp is composed of layered sedimentary rock that records Mars’ environmental evolution. These layers resemble a "layer cake" of Martian history, preserving evidence of ancient lakes, rivers, and wind-blown deposits. The mountain’s base contains clay and sulfate minerals, which suggest long-term water activity and potential habitability.
