Composite image of WB-57F aircraft and eclipse. During the solar eclipse, members of a NASA-funded team of scientists will track the Sun's corona using telescopes mounted on two NASA WB-57F research aircraft. This vantage point provides clear advantages over ground-based observations, as demonstrated in this composite image of the aircraft against the backdrop of the 2015 heat wave in the Faroe Islands.

"Selfie" photo taken by Curiosity. In the background you can see Mount Sharp which stands in the center of Gale Crater, and Curiosity is currently climbing to its upper layers. To take selfies, Curiosity uses a camera mounted on its robotic arm, and takes pictures of itself from many angles. The images are then edited into a single image in Photoshop.
