what do you mean you don't want to talk about Galois theory the whole night with Radiohead's songs in the background ??

Curiosity captures a martian day, from dawn to dusk

When NASA's Curiosity Mars rover isn't on the move, it works pretty well as a sundial, as seen in two black-and-white videos recorded on Nov. 8, the 4,002nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The rover captured its own shadow shifting across the surface of Mars using its black-and-white Hazard-Avoidance Cameras, or Hazcams.

Instructions to record the videos were part of the last set of commands beamed up to Curiosity just before the start of Mars' solar conjunction, a period when the sun is between Earth and Mars. Because plasma from the sun can interfere with radio communications, missions hold off on sending commands to Mars spacecraft for several weeks during this time. (The missions weren't totally out of contact: They still radioed back regular health check-ins throughout conjunction.)

Rover drivers normally rely on Curiosity's Hazcams to spot rocks, slopes, and other hazards that may be risky to traverse. But because the rover's other activities were intentionally scaled back just prior to conjunction, the team decided to use the Hazcams to record 12 hours of snapshots for the first time, hoping to capture clouds or dust devils that could reveal more about the Red Planet's weather.

When the images came down to Earth after conjunction, scientists didn't see any weather of note, but the pair of 25-frame videos they put together do capture the passage of time. Extending from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. local time, the videos show Curiosity's silhouette shifting as the day moves from morning to afternoon to evening.

The first video, featuring images from the front Hazcam, looks southeast along Gediz Vallis, a valley found on Mount Sharp. Curiosity has been ascending the base of the 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) mountain, which sits in Gale Crater, since 2014.

The second video shows the view of the rear Hazcam as it looks northwest down the slopes of Mount Sharp to the floor of Gale Crater. The rover's right rear wheel is visible, along with the shadow of Curiosity's power system. A small black artifact that appears at the left midway through the video, during the 17th frame, resulted from a cosmic ray hitting the camera sensor.

Likewise, the bright flashing and other noise at the end of the video are the result of heat from the spacecraft's power system affecting the Hazcam's image sensor.

These images have been re-projected to correct the wide-angle lenses of the Hazcams. The speckled appearance of the images, especially prominent in the rear-camera video, is due to 11 years of Martian dust settling on the lenses.

Just spent the best night ever with my lover. They’re literally perfect, listened to me talk about maths, books and all. It was just heaven, tysm for being here. My whole heart belong and soul belong to you.

Happy new year everyone :)
