Curiosity rover captures stunning time-lapse postcard of Martian landscape.
NASA's Curiosity rover captured a detailed "postcard" of the Martian landscape, showing the sunlight shifting between morning and afternoon. The rover took the photo after waking up from a software update nap, which included 180 individual upgrades. The new panorama is a composite of two images, one taken in the morning and the other in the afternoon, creating an image with much greater detail than a standard photograph. This is the second time that Curiosity has captured an image in this way, but the latest postcard is much more detailed than its first attempt.
