NASA's rover took a picture of itself on Mars.
The explorer, which landed on Mars in August 2012 is still looking for evidence that the Red Planet was once a good place to live. The latest snapshot of the rover shows a view of two landmarks, one of which is a rock formation called Greenheugh Pediment to the left of the rover.
The 3,303rd Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission was on Nov. 20. The panorama was taken by the MAHLI, located at the end of the rover's robotic arm, according to a statement from NASA.
NASA's rover on Mars has amazing photos.
NASA shared a wide and up- close view of the landscape of Mars with the sun shining in the sky. The red rust color of the Martian surface is highlighted in the image.
Mount Sharp is a 3.4 mile tall mountain that has been driving up since 2004. The rover is looking for clues about the Red Planet's past when it was warm and wet, and when the desert is now.

The hill was named after a former Astrobiologist who worked on the mission until he died in January. In April, the rover ascended Greenheugh Pediment and captured a view from the top of the rock formation.
The U-shaped opening behind the rover is called Maria Gordon Notch, and it is where the rover is headed.
