Shadow of a Martian Robot
Explanation: What if you saw your shadow on Mars and it wasn't
human
? Then you might be the
Opportunity rover
currently exploring Mars. Opportunity and
sister robot Spirit
have been probing the
red planet
since early 2004, finding
evidence of ancient water
, and sending breathtaking images across the inner
Solar System
.
Pictured above
, Opportunity looks opposite the Sun into
Endurance Crater
and sees its own
shadow
. Two wheels are visible on the lower left and right, while the floor and walls of the unusual crater are
visible
in the background. Although the
Spirit rover is now stuck
, Opportunity is continuing on its
long trek
to expansive
Endeavor crater
.
