A self-portrait by the
Mars rover
Curiosity on October 31, 2012. The mosaic is stitched from a set of 55 images taken by the
Mars Hand Lens Imager at "Rocknest," the spot in
Gale crater where
the mission's first scoop sampling took place. Self-portraits such as this help
NASA document the state of the rover and track changes, such as dust accumulation and wheel wear.Photograph:
