5. Mars Rover’s Selfie
火星探測車自拍
NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover took an out-of-this-world image on June 24 to mark a full Martian year, which is 687 days on Earth. It had a productive year, between collecting rock samples and discovering a former lakebed that NASA says had “essential elemental ingredients for life.” But no word on how close it is to finding living organisms capable of taking selfies.
美國宇航局(NASA)的“好奇號”火星探測車在6月24日給自己拍了張自拍照,以紀念在火星上待了整整一年,也就是等同于地球上的687天。“好奇號”在火星上收獲頗豐。它收集到了巖石樣本,發現了原始湖床,該湖床被美國宇航局稱為含有“組成生命的基本元素”。但是美國宇航局并未提及距離發現能自拍的生物體還有多遠。
