Sure, you may have some cool selfies, but do you have one of you on another planet?! Here’s the latest self-portrait from the Mars Curiosity Rover (click for larger version), just to help us all remember the mind-blowing fact that we have a robot driving around on the surface of another planet…
If you’re wondering how the rover can take a selfie without any visible ‘arm’ in the shot, it’s actually stitched together out of 75 separate images. For more information on this, see this 2013 post from Emily Lakdawalla where she explained a previous selfie taken by Curiosity.
