Check out the latest selfie from NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover!
Recently, NASA has launched new pictures of its Curiosity rover on the floor of Mars, snapped by the rover itself utilizing the final inbuilt selfie stick-its 7-foot-lengthy robotic arm. The rover is at present at its foothills and is examining rocks to study the composition as it travels ahead.
According the latest results, billions of years ago the crater was filled with water. Silica is a rock-forming compound containing silicon and oxygen, commonly found on Earth as quartz. And high levels of hydrogen suggest more water than elsewhere.
It seems like everyone, and everything, wants a selfie!But this one could be the most “out there!”
On it’s website, NASA states Curiosity “shows the vehicle at the site from which it reached down to drill into a rock target called Buckskin”.
“We were pleased to see no repeat of the short circuit during the Buckskin drilling and sample transfer”, said Steven Lee, deputy project manager for Curiosity at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.
