CURIOSITY UPDATE
by Hazed
The Curiosity rover, having landed on Mars and taken a good look around, is sending back some pictures of its surroundings. Here’s some of them.
First is an amazing panorama of the crater in which it’s currently sitting. Be patient, this takes a while to load but it’s worth the wait. Look “down” and you’ll see Curiosity itself.
Then this gallery of pictures recaps the landing and shows you the first things Curiosity saw.
Here’s an interesting pictorial experiment: can you tell the difference between a picture of Mars and one of Earth?
A Curiosity toy. I want one of these on my desk at work.
Finally, here’s a close-up look at the Curiosity, taken by one of its navigation cameras, and here’s a stitched-up view that shows the whole rover.
