Most Epic Selfie in the world…wait…no… The Solar System !!!

A view of Earth from the surface of Mars

 

A view of Earth from the surface of Mars. More via JPL (including hi-res images):

This view of the twilight sky and Martian horizon taken by NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover includes Earth as the brightest point of light in the night sky. Earth is a little left of center in the image, and our moon is just below Earth. Two annotated versions of this image are also available in Figures 1 and 2. Researchers used the left eye camera of Curiosity’s Mast Camera (Mastcam) to capture this scene about 80 minutes after sunset on the 529th Martian day, or sol, of the rover’s work on Mars (Jan. 31, 2014). The image has been processed to remove effects of cosmic rays.

Snow Plow Robot to the rescue !

For my Snow birds on the mainland…. Don’t say a brother didn’t try to help…


The SuperDroid Robot 6WD with Snow Plow can do just that. As you guessed, this is a robot that plows snow. This is a custom 6-wheel drive remote control machine. You can stay inside and plow your driveway. There is a 52″ wide snow plow blade mounted to the front of the robot. An air cylinder is used to remotely lift and lower the blade.
