A Spectacular Photo From The Mars 

The Curiosity Rover has been up on Mars for almost 5 years now, slowly driving around the Red Planet. But while we've seen seen selfies taken by the rover, we've never seen something like this — an image, taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, showing Curiosity on the surface of Mars, a tiny (but bright) blue dot amid the rocks and sand. It's pretty amazing: 

Hopefully one day Curiosity will have some company — perhaps with Elon Musk's help.
