Could be a picture taken of a mirrored ball.
LOL!
So a digitally assembled selfie.
Ask Stanley Kubrick.
Selfie-stick. No, really. The camera is attached.
LOL!
“According to most Ron Paul supporters. “
That is a familiar picture. We took a picture like this in day camp in early August 1969. I don’t remember the two people in the picture, but I remember that staircase, because I fell down it while wearing that suit.
Was a strange day. After the picture was taken, we were all brought out to a big tent where I was asked to walk around like I was bouncing in a ball pit. This guy was instructing me saying things like, “don’t just jump, take one or two steps then jump, no no not so high.”
After that they took the tent down and drove off in a big black 18 wheel truck.
Then we had bug juice and cookies.
Universal Studios can do ANYTHING!!!
From another source:
The 1-ton Curiosity rover snapped several low-angle shots with the camera at the end of its robotic arm on Aug. 5, at a site called Marias Pass in the foothills of the 3.4-mile-high (5.5 kilometers) Mount Sharp. Mission team members then stitched those photos together into the amazing selfie, which NASA released Tuesday (Aug. 18).
Taken from the lander?
