NASA's robotic rover Curiosity drills into Martian rock

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is pictured in this Feb 3, 2013 handout self-portrait obtained by Reuters Feb 9, 2013. The image was made by combining dozens of exposures taken by the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI). The rover is positioned at a patch of flat outcrop called "John Klein," which was selected as the site for the first rock-drilling activities by Curiosity. The rover's robotic arm is not visible in the mosaic. MAHLI, which took the component images for this mosaic, is mounted on a turret at the end of the arm. The arm was positioned out of the shot in the images or portions of images used in the mosaic. [Photo/Agencies]
