And they are pretty amazing!
And maybe the coolest thing I’ve seen come from the Curiosity Rover is this Panorama image of Mars. You really start to feel like you are standing on the Red Planet itself.

In case you missed it, NASA landed a new rover by the name of Curiosity onto the surface of Mars back on August 6th. Daniel Fitch, of YouTube, recently compiled a set of High-definition images taken by the Mars Descent Imager to make the video seen above.
At first, you see the heat shield being ejected toward the surface. Once the shield is gone, the rover’s radar is revealed to calculate the right speed and direction of descent which can be controlled with its jetpacks.
Now, we just have to sit back and let the rover roam the Red Planet and try to achieve its 4 goals:
Goal 1: Determine whether life ever arose on Mars
Goal 2: Characterize the climate of Mars
Goal 3: Characterize the geology of Mars
Goal 4: Prepare for human exploration
I’m most excited about Goals 1 & 4. Send Humans!

Check out these Mars Travel Posters from Ron Guyatt. They feature 3 landmarks: the Seven Sisters caves on Arsia Mons, the volcano Olympus Mons, and the Valles Marineris.
They are apparently part of a series depicting landmarks in our solar system, so hopefully we’ll get to see some more in the coming months.

Check out this collection of spectacular moon photos I saw on the Mother Nature Network, and learn a bit about our solar system in the process. A lot of the photos have different filters to make them look extra special, but they are interesting nonetheless. I thought it would be cool to learn all of the moons of the solar system, but I found out there are more than 170, so that could be quite challenging. Did you know Jupiter, alone, has 63 moons!?
