Curiosity rover takes snapshot of Earth -- from 100 million miles away on Mars
(CNN) -- It's a dot in the sky.
But not just any dot. For the Curiosity rover, it's home.
NASA tweeted a photo
Thursday taken by Curiosity from the Mars surface six days earlier. The
image shows a speck above the horizon that a pointer identifies as
Earth.
"Look Back in Wonder," reads the accompanying text from the Curiosity Rover's official Twitter feed. "My 1st picture of Earth from the surface of Mars."
If it's possible for a
1-ton, roughly SUV-size vehicle to get homesick, it's had plenty of
reason to shed a tear. The last time Curiosity was on Earth was November
26, 2011, when it set off aboard a NASA spacecraft from Cape Canaveral,
Florida.
Eight and a half months
and some 352 million miles later, the rover landed safely on Mars with
its 17 cameras and other assorted scientific instruments all intact. And
almost as quickly, the Curiosity -- the centerpiece of a $2.6 billion
project -- began transmitting images back to Earth.
But until now, none of those pictures actually showed Earth itself.
The one released by NASA,
which was "processed to remove effects of cosmic rays," was taken about
80 minutes after Mars' sunset with what researchers call Curiosity's
"left eye camera" on its "Mastcam." It show not just Earth but another
dot that NASA says is our moon. (Earth was about 99 million miles away
at that point, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Curiosity
traveled a much longer distance to get to Mars because both planets are
constantly in motion.)
Any Martian or Earthling who happened to be visiting wouldn't need such a special camera to see the same thing.
According to NASA,
"A human observer with normal vision, if standing on Mars, could easily
see Earth and the moon as two distinct, bright 'evening stars.'"
Of course, photographing its native planet isn't Curiosity's main mission, which is exploring Mars.
Since landing in Gale
Crater, Curiosity has helped scientists determine that an area called
Yellowknife Bay was habitable in ancient times.
Here, from the rim of
the crater came stream waters that formed "a lake-stream-groundwater
system that might have existed for millions of years," John Grotzinger,
lead scientist on the Curiosity mission, wrote in last month's edition
of the journal Science.
