An artistic interpretation of Curiosity's field of view on a mountain on Mars was created by team members who were amazed by the sweeping view
"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.

In the photo: Curiosity and the reddish equivalent of the Mojave Desert - the northern rim of Gale Crater in artificial colors. This artificially colored enclosure overlooks the eroded rim of Gale Crater in the background. On the left side you can see part of the vehicle's nuclear power source as well as the wide film antenna and other components on board the vehicle. This attachment was prepared from three high-resolution navigation camera images transmitted from the spacecraft during the night. Adapted by Ken Cramer and Marco De Lorenzo, Universe Today

Gallons = small waves. A new international study led by Ben-Gurion University has challenged the prevailing theory that different physical conditions allow the development of galleons that do not exist on Earth
Curiosity's rear Hazcam recorded the shadow of the rover's rear in a 12-hour view toward the Gale Basin floor. Several factors caused several artifacts in the image, including a black spot, the sun's distorted appearance, and rows of white pixels extending from the sun. NASA/JPL-Caltech

A new method makes it possible to map desert lakes around the world from space

Prof. Moshe Armon: "The method we developed can be used to map the bottom of desert lakes around the world, and help us understand what the climate was like in those regions of the world in the past and maybe even in the future."
