Original – Fuel module of the of the Mars' Curiosity rover made of o ²³⁸
PuO
₂ radioisotope thermoelectric generator encased within graphite impact shells

Reason: Striking image showing how a nuclear fuel cell heats up to glowing temperatures enough to powering once of NASA's Mars rovers. I believe that the fuzziness is intentional due to security reasons.

Oppose - The fuzziness of the image is too much to be considered one of wikipedia's best photographs. Mattximus (talk) 00:11, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For every purpose except "Curiosity (rover)", yes. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:11, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
