Mars rover Curiosity has driven up to a football-sized rock that will be the first for the rover's arm to examine, US space agency NASA announced. Curiosity is about eight feet from the rock. It lies about halfway from Curiosity's landing site, Bradbury Landing, to a location called Glenelg, reported Xinhua. In the coming days, the team plans to touch the rock with a spectrometer to determine its elemental composition and use an arm-mounted camera to take close-up photographs.
