Curiosity Decides To Snap A Selfie

Mars Rover Curiosity thought it was cute enough to warrant a selfie - and we couldn't agree more

Curiosity Decides To Snap A Selfie
NASA

NASA's done something interesting yet again. Curiosity, the rover that is operating on Mars, took time to pause its actual job to do what Millennials do best: take a selfie.

While Curiosity's selfie isn't from a 3/4 angle or with great lighting and a filter, it is comprised of 92 angles. It's not complete, just like all selfies. There's a shadow in its picture, showing off where the arm of Curiosity is.

Curiosity is on a mission though, besides being absolutely adorable. It took a break from drilling into the planet. While digging, NASA said that Curiosity found that this area is high in silicone and hydrogen content. It also has more water than Curiosity has seen in an area since being dropped off. The rover has been there for three years, putzing about and being everyone's favorite. This isn't the only time it has caught our attention; Curiosity sang "Happy Birthday" to itself on the first anniversary of it landing on our neighbor.

What will Curiosity do next? We'll have to watch and wait.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
