"Curiosity Rover Reveals the Wonders of a Full Martian Day"

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover, while stationary during Mars' solar conjunction in November 2023, utilized its Hazard-Avoidance Cameras (Hazcams) to record a full Martian day, capturing its shadow moving across the surface from dawn to dusk. The rover, which was not moving due to communication constraints with Earth during this period, took this opportunity to potentially observe weather phenomena like clouds or dust devils. Although no significant weather events were captured, the resulting 25-frame videos from the front and rear Hazcams offer a unique time-lapse view of a day on Mars, showcasing the rover's shadow and the changing light conditions on the Red Planet's surface.
