  • The photo was taken by the rover’s right navigation camera,a close-up look at the light source makes it look like it has a flat bottom and rises upward, where it dissipates.
  • Ellison joins in on a discussion about the light signal,”it’s not in the left-navcam image taken at the exact same moment. It’s a cosmic ray hit.” Cosmic rays are high-energy particles that go flying through space.
  • The astronauts have been reports “when a cosmic ray happens to pass through the retina it causes the rods and cones to fire, and you perceive a flash of light that is really not there”,astronaut don pettit wrote on his blog.
