Rosetta Was Here

February 26th, 2007

The ESA’s Rosetta probe took this amazing image of Mars as it passed close by the Red Planet the other day.

It reminds me of a Chris Foss cover from some 1970s paperback science fiction novel; something about the mix of astronomical objects in the background combined with big, angular bits of technology in the foreground.
