The presence of video-related data in the filename of an image (jpg) suggests it's a screenshot of a video. That, along with the Swedish subtitles, does seem to suggest that it is not in fact the mars lander "curiosity" but is perhaps an alternative "rear camera" that has been made available for people's "curiosity". --[[User:Mbread|Mbread]] ([[User talk:Mbread|talk]]) 14:21, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I've already used that excuse today because I was up at 5:30 am (UK time) to watch it! Amazing. --SteveBell (talk) 11:50, 6 August 2012‎ (UTC)
