如果你在火星上看到自己的影子却不是人类呢？那么你可能就是探索火星的机遇号。机遇号从2004年到2018年探索了这颗红色星球，发现了古代水存在的证据，并向内太阳系发送了令人惊叹的图像。这张照片摄于2004年，机遇号正对着太阳进入耐力陨石坑，看到了自己的影子。在左下角和右下角可以看到两个轮子，而在背景中可以看到这个不寻常的陨石坑的地板和墙壁。在2018年遭遇沙尘暴后，机遇号停止了响应，美国宇航局在2019年停止了与它的联系，并宣布这项最初计划仅持续92天的突破性任务完成。

What if you saw your shadow on Mars and it wasn't human? Then you might be the Opportunity rover exploring Mars. Opportunity explored the Red Planet from 2004 to 2018, finding evidence of ancient water, and sending breathtaking images across the inner Solar System. Pictured here in 2004, Opportunity looks opposite the Sun into Endurance Crater and sees its own shadow. Two wheels are visible on the lower left and right, while the floor and walls of the unusual crater are visible in the background. Caught in a dust storm in 2018, Opportunity stopped responding, and NASA stopped trying to contact it in 2019 and declared the ground-breaking mission, originally planned for only 92 days, complete.
