Animated View from the Mars Rover

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the we're-not-in-kansas-anymore dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Mars Spirit rover is within sight of the summit of Husband Hill, and it's looking out onto a vast plain where it caught sight of dust devils that are presented in a new animation of stills. Meanwhile, on NASA's site is a cool new panorama of 'Rub al Khali' taken by Opportunity." The science of the dust devils was covered previously on Slashdot.

    These things are STILL roaming on another planet. Unassisted in any physicaly way, and serving humanity WAY past their designed life.

    EXCELLENT job NASA and the JPL. I am proud to have paid taxes for such an awesome project.
