History buffs, take note: This is the first image taken by NASA's Curiosity rover after it settled down on the Martian surface as August 5 was giving way to August 6 here on Earth. In this photo, the camera's clear dust cover is still on, and you can make out the dust around its edge. In the lower right corner, one of the rover's wheels is visible.
