Summary

DescriptionPIA16160-Mars Curiosity Rover-APXS.jpg	English: 09.12.2012 Portrait of APXS on Mars This image shows the Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) on NASA's Curiosity rover, with the Martian landscape in the background. The image was taken by Curiosity's Mast Camera on the 32nd Martian day, or sol, of operations on the surface (Sept. 7, 2012, PDT or Sept. 8, 2012, UTC). APXS can be seen in the middle of the picture. This image let researchers know that the APXS instrument had not become caked with dust during Curiosity's dusty landing. Scientists enhanced the color in this version to show the Martian scene as it would appear under the lighting conditions we have on Earth, which helps in analyzing the terrain. Polski: Zdjęcie APXS na Marsie Zdjęcie to pokazuje Rentgenowski Spektrometr Cząstek Alfa (APXS) na łaziku NASA Curiosity, z marsjańskim krajobrazem w tle. Zdjęcie zostało zrobione przez MastCam, jedną z dwu kamer umieszczonych na maszcie łazika, 32 marsjańskiego dnia, lub Sol 32, operacji na powierzchni Marsa (7 września 2012, PDT lub 8 września 2012, UTC) licząc kolejne dni od daty lądowania (5 sierpnia 2012) łazika Curiosity. APXS można zobaczyć w środku obrazu. Zdjęcie to upewni naukowców, że instrument APXS nie został pokryty kurzem podczas lądowania. Naukowcy poprawili kolor tej wersji, aby zobaczyć marsjański krajobraz w warunkach oświetleniowych, które mamy na Ziemi, co pomaga w analizie terenu.
