The picture was taken by NASA's Curiosity rover, which has landed on Mars in August, on Gale Crater. Curiosity has been looking for more signs that water once ran through the planet, and also clues that life existed. The picture, taken in November, shows its shadow in the direction opposite the sun at "Point Lake." There are some areas near there that appear to have been dried streambeds. In the next few years, Curiosity is to climb Mt. Sharp, which has been a spot scientists have long been wanting to study.
