Shadow of a Martian Robot
The Opportunity rover, exploring Mars from 2004 to 2018, captured its own shadow in 2004 while looking into Endurance Crater. The image shows two of the rover's wheels and the floor and walls of the crater. Opportunity found evidence of ancient water during its long mission on the red planet.
