"Using its robotic arm-mounted MAHLI camera, NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has snapped, quite possibly, the most iconic image to come from the mission so far. By stitching together 55 high-resolution photos, the rover has snapped an 'arm's length' self portrait..."



Awesome.

Beautiful pic. But just for arguments sake, when you do a self portrait your arm is always in shot...........where's the arm? :msn4:

Fair play that's an awesome photo. I wonder where it was actually taken
