They didn’t even tell us to wave this time! Last year, NASA organized a “wave at Saturn” day when the Cassini spacecraft was about to take a photo that would capture Earth in the frame. NASA…did you think you’d catch us doing something if you didn’t tell us the photo was coming? This photo was taken by the Curiosity Rover earlier this week; as far as I know this is the first photo of Earth taken from the surface of another planet. We can regularly see Mars in the night sky from Earth; from that rover’s perspective, we’re all just another pair of bright dots in the sky. Oh, and this photo also proves one other thing. Curiosity has some really good cameras. -JBB Image credit: NASA/JPL/Caltechhttp://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA17936 -- source link
