Mount Sharp, Mars - When it comes to off-roading, this is about as far off-road as it gets, about 225 million kilometres from the nearest tarred surface.
This 'selfie' of the Nasa Mars rover Curiosity was taken at a site called Buckskin on the lower slopes of Mount Sharp, where Curiosity drilled into a rock target in search of evidence that life once existed on the Red Planet.
But before it got down and dirty, Curiosity took a series of images of itself using what Nasa calls the Mars Hand Lens Imager (yes, Cyril, it's a digital camera, but that's way too simplistic for the most expensive radio-controlled toy car in the known universe).
COMPOSITE IMAGE
Photoshop boffins at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calfornia then pieced together this mosaic image from those shots, some of which were taken from a lower angle than ever before, giving us an interesting view of the underside of the six-wheeled rover.
You can even see a small rock stock in the left middle wheel (on the right in this head-on shot) which had been there for at least three weeks.
The Mahli camera is mounted on the end of Curiosity's robotic arm, but the arm itself was actually out of shot in most of the original images, which is why it appears cut off at an angle halfway up the first segment, in this composite image.
To give you an idea of Curiosity's actual size, the wheels are about 500mm in diameter and their tyre treads about 160mm wide.
