The Curiosity Rover has once again taken a picture that would be unremarkable if it were on Earth, but really blows you away when you realize the immediacy and tangibility of something on another planet, so far away that light takes tens of minutes to travel back and forth to Earth.
You and all your ancestors going back to the primordial ooze have known only one place. This picture is not of that place:
It's not even in the context of that place. If you swiveled the camera around and covered every possible spot along a sphere surrounding it, all that you and all of your ancestors combined have ever known would just be a few arc-second dot in the sky. But you can stare at those rocks in the image above clearly, as if you were standing right there. Until the folks at JPL who processed the data into the image, no human being had ever seen this, and we looking at it here are still among the very first. You are looking into eons, past and future. And some day those rocks may have a chance to see you in turn.
