The picture shown above is the self-portrait of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity which was taken by the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) during th 177th Martian day or so, of Curiosity's work on Mars ( 3rd Feb., 2013).
The Rover was positioned on a flat outcrop called "John Klein" which was a place selected for the first rock-drilling activities by Curiosity. The rover's robotic arm is not visible in the picture. The MAHLI which took the images was mounted on a turret at the end of the arm.
