Curiosity photo caption contest has winners!

We asked readers to submit their captions for these images taken in the first few days of rover Curiosity's visit to Mars.

The rover landed on the red planet earlier this week and became an internet sensation. Scientists are excited too, of course. They hope Curiosity will take them a little closer to knowing whether life existed on Mars.

For each photo in the gallery, we picked one winner. Congratulations to readers talkhazin, Derek and GHems!
