"Curiosity Rover's Dawn-to-Dusk Timelapse Reveals a Day in the Life on Mars"
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Curiosity rover, during a break in its Mars mission due to the Mars solar conjunction, utilized its Hazard-Avoidance Cameras (Hazcams) to capture a timelapse of a Martian day. The rover, stationed at the base of Mount Sharp, recorded the sun's movement over 12 hours, resulting in a unique view of its own shadow moving across the Martian landscape. The images, taken on November 8, were compiled into videos post-conjunction, showcasing a different use of the rover's capabilities while regular operations were paused from November 11 to November 25. Curiosity and other Mars explorers have now resumed their scientific duties.
