NASA's Curiosity rover explores Cache Creek on Mars

Original: Curiosity Blog, Sols 5022-5028: Cashing in at Cache Creek

NASA's Curiosity rover team has published a new mission update covering Sols 5022-5028, describing activities at a Martian location nicknamed Cache Creek. The blog details the rover's ongoing geological work and sample-related operations as the vehicle continues its exploration of Gale Crater, extending a mission that has far outlasted its original planned duration.

Why now: Space enthusiasts follow each Curiosity mission update because the rover keeps returning new findings from Mars years after its 2012 landing.
