Here’s a selfie of the Curiosity rover on a Martian dune

This is a selfie we don’t mind seeing. As Curiosity continues to roam the Martian landscape it takes self-portraits along the way. The latest one it captured is at a place called “Namib Dune.” The image above is a composite of 57 images taken on January 19^th by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), which was attached to the end of the rover’s arm (think high-tech selfie stick).

This area is part of the dark sand dune field northwest of Mount Sharp. Curiosity was in the area to collect sand for lab analysis as part of NASA’s plans to study how Martian winds move and get a better picture of the planet’s environment.

The iPhone was no longer under warranty and I did not purchase AppleCare for this device, which worried me. I checked out local repair services like iRepair and the cost of materials and labour were around $180 plus tax, so I decided to check what the Apple Store would charge.
