Mystery Phenomenon Cleans Mars Opportunity Rover

Posted by timothy on from the maybe-labor's-just-really-cheap-there dept.

While the Spirit rover is down to 400 watt-hours per day due to the dirt obscuring its solar panels, Opportunity has gone from 500 watt-hours to 900 per day. I wish this phenomenon would clean the snow off my car."

    Have you ever been to that asian salon and massage parlor on Arch street in Philly?
