The Curiosity Rover’s Ultimate Self-Portrait

by Nancy Atkinson on November 2, 2012

OK, we thought the low-resolution self-portrait from yesterday was great… but here’s the real goods: a monster, high-resolution awesome mosaic of 55 images taken by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), showing the rover at its spot in Gale Crater — called Rocknest — with the base of Gale Crater’s 5-kilometer- (3-mile-) high mountain, Aeolis Mons or Mount Sharp, rising in the background. The images were taken on Sol 84 (Oct. 31, 2012), and sent to Earth today. In the foreground, four scoop scars can be seen in the regolith in front of the rover.

You can get access to the full resolution version at this link. It’s amazing.

Not anymore it's not .

Emily also points out how the rover photographed itself photographing itself — due to the reflective surfaces on the turret, so check out her analysis.

Conveniently all the links to NASA web sites don't work.
Here is the link I found of this image...

I'm not seeing any cross on the hillside.

Well spotted ; that was the point of the thread ,It's been deleted .

Go to the original vid , looks nothing like your subsequent post , which is a camera artifact .

I made the gif using the actual NASA image and the one linked on the Youtube channel...negative inverted for clarity. No cross and damn well no guinea pig.
