Curiosity rover

When NASA's Curiosity Mars rover takes a break from its exploration activities, it serves an unexpected purpose as a sundial, showcasing this unique feature in two black-and-white videos recorded on November 8, the 4,002nd Martian day, or sol, of its mission. Utilizing its Hazard-Avoidance Cameras (Hazcams), the rover documented the fascinating sight of its own shadow gracefully moving across the Martian surface. This unintended yet captivating display provides a momentary break from Curiosity's scientific endeavors, offering a visual spectacle of the rover's presence on the red planet.
