Image above: NASA's Curiosity Mars rover took this selfie at a location nicknamed "Mary Anning" after a 19th century English paleontologist. Curiosity snagged three samples of drilled rock at this site on its way out of the Glen Torridon region, which scientists believe preserves an ancient habitable environment.

On 9 August 2020, NASA’s Curiosity rover was stationed on the “Mary Anning” drill site. The Right Navigation Camera captured 21 raw images between 08:09:20 and 08:13:37 UTC.
