>>>The 'super-sharp' Mars image of "Curious"

At first glance, they looked like a strange exhibition of hipster-style photos. In fact, they are a collection of 'raw' images taken from NASA's Curiosity self-propelled explorer ship on the surface of Mars.

While NASA normally publishes only magnificent pictures displaying colorful new images or surprisingly colorful panoramic images, the agency recently announced each image from a camera. Multi-dimensional of self-propelled ships, showing a much more accurate view of the Red planet, in fact it is like a barren place.

The image was taken by the Curiosity camera and is often used by Earth engineers and operators to check whether the self-propelled ship is on the right track.

Photos also help the ship explore new places.

Low resolution is used by engineers to study the surface of Mars.

One of the two Mastcam camera systems has a medium-resolution lens, while the other camera system has a high-resolution lens to study distant landscapes compared to the autonomous ship.

In fact, even the high-resolution camera system of Curiosity is only of low quality compared to modern cameras and even phones.

Curiosity sends data to the two current satellites orbiting Mars so that they will transmit data back to Earth but at a rate of only 128Kb, the speed is quite low in modern conditions. That explains why rudimentary black and white pictures are sent back.
