Curiosity has been trundling along the Martian surface for just over a year now and in that time the rover has studied a variety of objects, constantly beaming back fascinating scientific results. The job of ground based rovers is to get face to face with samples of an alien planet and serve as a remote laboratory for scientists back on Earth. The need for such close up observations has been demonstrated today by […]http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/600/600453.jpg
