I’m running out of Spirit puns, but that rover just keeps lasting!
The Spirit Mars rover just achieved its 1000th martian day on the fourth rock, and to commemorate it NASA released a pretty cool panorama:
It’s pretty cool, but not nearly as spiffy as this anaglyph:
What? You don’t have red/green glasses handy? Why not? There are a zillion of these anaglyphs on the web, so I keep a pair on my desk at work.
Yes, I’m a dork. Sue me.
Anyway, go get a pair. The hill in the near foreground with the rocks on it is so cool when see standing out against the farther hills. It reminds me a little of a place I recently visited.
Oh– Spirit and Opportunity were only meant to last 90 martian days. 1000 days and counting.
