  • NASA's Opportunity rover has 'run' a science marathon (and then some!) on the Red Planet, traveling over 26.2 miles. The Mars Exploration Rover team compiled ‘Hazcam’ imagery (2004 - 2015), combined with terrain vibration data, odometer readings and made a map to track the journey. -- More about the Opportunity's Mar's Marathon Win: goo.gl/eQ3hRh

    The slowness of it was what i took away from this. Moving at a speed of something like a few meters or less within the span of a week has to be pain staking for the mission crew in charge of daily maintenance.
    I watched the entire thing and enjoyed seeing how little movement it would have throughout the course of a day.
    It was also fun to relate the dates on screen to what was happening in my life down here on earth.
    I saw my hs graduation date, the day i fell in love and back out of love over a relationship.
    I saw my little sister's birth, the day i moved out, and the day i took my first biology class in college.
    If you do things like that I think that anyone can find this video rather neat.

      Strange, I complain there are too many pixels. I wouldn't mind having a 16 Mpx sensor with much higher color depth.

      This footage is from the hazard avoidance camera. It's only supposed to watch wether there's a big rock in front of the rover, a crack in the ground, or the wheels are trapped in the sand. You don't need color for that.
      The panoramic camera, however, did take a LOT of color images, by taking successive black and white images through red, green and blue filters.
      The raw, unprocessed images (including a lot of calibration images) are all available here : mars.nasa.gov/mer/gallery/all/opportunity.html
      The much nicer looking processed images (with color, and panoramas) are all over the Internet, I'll let you google them yourself. (A habit you should take)

      It’s part of the rover descent module, specifically the heat shield. Here’s a picture of it before it was on Mars: cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/TYSH9cWrqyBvSQekAa5uYJ-320-80.jpg
