A 'selfie' taken by NASA's Curiosity Rover has become such a hit that it inspired one of the scientists on the team that created the camera taking the selfie to turn into an artwork.
NASA shared the picture on its Facebook page. It's titled Le Petit Rover - a reference to French writer-aviator's book Le Petit Prince or The Little Prince, a book about a planet-hopping 'prince' who falls to Earth from an asteroid.
