The 6-wheeled Curiosity rover appears as a double dot in a new satellite image released by NASA. “We can clearly see Curiosity – it’ s like two bright spots that we see, and their shadows. And then it’s surrounded by the blast pattern from the descent stage – those little blue fans right next to it (false blue color),” Alfred McEwen, principal investigator on the High Resolution Image Science Experiment camera said.
