美国宇航局的好奇号火星探测器使用其桅杆相机或桅杆摄像机，在名为“爱丁堡”的钻孔周围捕捉到这一场景。 用于创建场景的图像是在2020年3月22日至23日拍摄的，这是该任务的第 2,711和2,712个火星日或太阳日。

当好奇号停在一个名为“Greenheugh Pediment”的特征顶部时，该场景被捕获。背景中隐约可见的是夏普山的顶部，这座3英里高（5公里高）的山峰自2014年以来一直是好奇号攀登的目标。

对场景的色彩平衡进行了处理，以反映它在地球白天光照下人眼所看到的方式。

圣地亚哥的Malin Space Science Systems建造并运营Mastcam。美国宇航局位于南加州的喷气推进实验室加州理工学院的一个部门建造了好奇号火星车，并为该机构位于华盛顿的科学任务理事会管理好奇号火星车。

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to capture this scene around a drill hole named “Edinburgh.” The images used to create the scene were taken on March 22 and 23, 2020, which were the 2,711th and 2,712th Martian days, or sols, of the mission.

The scene was captured while Curiosity was parked on top of a feature called the “Greenheugh Pediment.” Looming above in the background is the top of Mount Sharp, the 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) mountain that Curiosity has been ascending since 2014.

The color balance of the scene was processed to reflect the way it would look to the human eye under daytime lighting on Earth.

Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego built and operates Mastcam. A pision of Caltech, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California built the Curiosity rover and manages the Curiosity rover for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
