I know, the rover Curiosity has proven its ability to take a picture with itself as the subject, but up until recently those photo has all the charm of a Chilton Auto Repair Manual. I know, NASA needed to see how the rover fared during the trip and various other shots. But when when the operators get the chance, they prove that they can do some really great work.
This photo shows us, in part, just how big the machine is. Each of those wheels is over half a meter or 1.6 feet. Plus we can see all the workings as well as the tread material! Looking back at the mountains between the bogey wheels makes me feel like I am there!
