Too bad they tore down 500 hundred trees so they could drag it thru LA.

Very cool. When the weather was funky between San Antonio and Florida they used to land the shuttle transport at Kelly AFB. It was a sight to behold for sure.

A picture of a camera... on Mars

The left eye of the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took this image of the camera on the rover's arm, the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), during the 30th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission on Mars (Sept. 5, 2012). MAHLI is one of the tools on a turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm. When this image was taken, the arm had raised
the turret to about the same height as the camera on the mast. The Mastcam's left eye has a 34-millimeter focal length lens.

The image shows that MAHLI has a thin film or coating of Martian dust on it. This dust accumulated during Curiosity's final descent to the Martian surface, as the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft's descent stage (or sky crane) engines were disrupting the surface nearby.

The reddish circle near the center of the Mastcam Sol 30 image is the window of MAHLI's dust cover, with a diameter a little less than a soda can's diameter. Inside the lens, each of the nine glass lens elements and the front sapphire window are bonded or cemented in place by a red-colored silicone RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) material. This is a space-qualified "glue" that holds the lens elements in place. When the MAHLI is viewed from certain angles, this material gives one the impression that the inside of the lens is red.

The mechanism at the right in this image is Curiosity's dust removal tool, a motorized wire brush.

Tracks from the first drives of NASA's Curiosity rover are visible in this image captured by the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The rover is seen where the tracks end. The image's color has been enhanced to show the surface details better. - NASA

The United Launch Alliance Atlas V has delivered NASA’s Radiation Belt Storm Probes into space.

After a 13-minute ascent, the Centaur’s engine has shut down, and the vehicle has entered a 55-minute coast phase. The engine is scheduled to reignite at 5:14 a.m. EDT.

Well, yes, but I guess they could also be volcanic ejecta deposits ("airborne" ash and suchlike) mixed with flows of lava - the area top right looks to be capped with something a little more substantial - much like a stratigraphic volcano back here.
 
Funnily enough, we were in Yellowstone not so long ago....
 

Yellowstone.
 
It's going to be a fascinating few years.

It is.

The photo was posted to the rover's Facebook page, but with an incorrect link to where the information was supposed to be. The NASA rover site didn't have the article yet, but I expect it will appear soon.

PS: link fixed.
