Say cheese! NASA Mars rover photographs own shadow
Even
robots like to have fun. NASA’s rover on Mars showed off its playful
side by snapping a picture of its own shadow. It’s the latest
self-portrait since the rover, named Opportunity, landed on the red
planet in 2004.
The photo was taken in March and NASA released it this week. The solar-powered, six-wheel rover was at an outcrop on the rim of a massive crater. The late afternoon sun set the crater aglow and Opportunity waited for just the right lighting to send a postcard back to Earth.
