5. Mars Rover’s Selfie
火星探测车自拍
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.
美国宇航局(NASA)的“好奇号”火星探测车在6月24日给自己拍了张自拍照,以纪念在火星上待了整整一年,也就是等同于地球上的687天。“好奇号”在火星上收获颇丰。它收集到了岩石样本,发现了原始湖床,该湖床被美国宇航局称为含有“组成生命的基本元素”。但是美国宇航局并未提及距离发现能自拍的生物体还有多远。
