JPL held a press briefing today to fill the public in on what the rover's been up to in the last week, and what to look forward to over the next couple of weeks. Curiosity is wrapping up sol 58, but hasn't returned that data to earth yet, so this blog covers events through sol 57. Just minutes after I first posted this, images from sol 58 started arriving on Earth.

Curiosity is now parked near the sand drift I showed at the end of my last update. The drift has a name: "Rocknest."
