NASA 's Curiosity rover is moving to a fascinating new area of great interest on Mount Sharp .

The new area has been called the boxwork, and views from orbit show it to have a web-like structure.

Water flowing off Mount Sharp carried minerals that settled into fractures in the surface rock and subsequently hardened.

Over eons , the relentless action of the thin Martian atmosphere eroded some of the rock away.
