Ombra del rover che serve a determinare la posizione del Sole rispetto alla superficie

IN SPACE – AUGUST 8: In this handout image provided by NASA and released on August 8, 2012, is the first image taken by the Navigation cameras on NASA’s Curiosity rover. It shows the shadow of the rover’s now-upright mast in the center, and the arm’s shadow at left. The arm itself can be seen in the foreground. The navigation camera is used to help find the sun — information that is needed for locating, and communicating, with Earth. After the camera pointed at the sun, it turned in the opposite direction and took this picture. The position of the shadow helps confirm the sun’s location.
