NASA's Curiosity rover created a panoramic 'postcard' of Mars by combining images taken at different times of day, revealing the planet's geological features and its watery past, with artistic color enhancements to highlight the scene.
A postcard featuring a serious-looking family with a plea to not talk to them has been revealed as an art piece by Alan Wagner. The postcard, titled "Don't Talk To Us Family," was sent as a surprise to Wagner's Patreon supporters. The family's request to be left alone is part of the comedic art piece, and Wagner's work has a Tim Robinson vibe. Wagner's Patreon supports NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, with 10% of his monthly profits.
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured a stunning panoramic view of the terrain it is leaving behind, using its black-and-white navigation cameras to take two panoramas at different times of day on April 8, 2023. The resulting "postcard" is an artistic interpretation of the landscape, with color added to highlight details in the scene. The image shows Curiosity in the foothills of Mount Sharp within Gale Crater, with Marker Band Valley in the distance and two hills, Bolívar and Deepdale, in the foreground. The image also provides a glimpse of the rover's antennas and nuclear power source.
NASA's Curiosity rover has captured a stunning postcard of Marker Band Valley on Mars, showing the same region in the morning and afternoon. The image was created by combining two panoramas taken by the rover's black-and-white navigation cameras on April 8, 2023. The postcard view shows the intricate details of the scene, with the morning-afternoon contrast revealing the dramatically different lighting conditions at Marker Band Valley. The image also shows key parts of the rover, including its three antennas, nuclear power source, and an instrument called the Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD).
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured a "postcard" of Marker Band Valley, an area in the "sulfate-bearing region" of Gale Crater, using its navigation cameras. The postcard is an artistic interpretation of the landscape, with color added over two black-and-white panoramas captured at different times of day. The resulting image shows the foothills of Mount Sharp, two hills, and the rover's three antennas and nuclear power source. The Radiation Assessment Detector instrument, which appears as a white circle in the lower right of the image, has been helping scientists learn how to protect the first astronauts sent to Mars from radiation on the planet's surface.
