Planet Week: Selfies On Mars

This week we’re replaying some of our favorite episodes about our neighbors in the solar system. In this episode from June 2019, a look at how the Curiosity Rover takes selfies on Mars without having its robot arm in the foreground of every shot. Plus: the University of St. Andrews teaches grey seals to sing the "Star Wars" theme. For research. ⁠Why Don’t We See the Curiosity Rover’s Arm When it Takes a Selfie?⁠ (Universe Today) ⁠Curiosity Rover Report (June 13, 2013): Curiosity's Cameras⁠ (NASA on YouTube)  ⁠Grey seals copy human speech and music⁠ (University of St. Andrews) ⁠Back Cool Weird Awesome on Patreon today.
