Then & Now on Mars:
Images acquired 13 years apart feature Curiosity rover's MAHLI camera with its lens cap fully closed. The first image was taken just 32 Sols after landing in 2012, the second image was taken a few days ago on Sol 4,656 (September 11, 2025.
13 years of dust accumulation may appear bad, but the camera is still acquiring beautiful close-up images on Mars.
