NASA has revealed a "breathtaking" selfie on Mars in the latest snap of the Red Planet. The space agency is celebrating the first time its Curiosity robot has conducted a chemical experiment in the clay-rich Glen Etive crater. Two small drill holes can be seen to the left of the rover where scientists hope the remains of bacterial life may have been preserved for billions of years within the rock samples. The surreal snap is stitched together from a series of 57 taken from Curiosity's robotic arm earlier this month. (Photo/VCG)
