Winter Solstice on Mars: Rovers Look Forward to A Second Martian Spring





Eking out a steady stream of scientific data as solar power levels have plunged to a seasonal low during the rover's second Martian mid-winter, Spirit has discovered meteorites that might otherwise have been missed and completed work on a 360-degree, full-color panorama of its surroundings. The rover has collected long-term observations of the Martian atmosphere, rocks, and soils under varying conditions of sunlight, temperature, and wind.


Yep -- they're still up there.

This looks like a picture of the "left behind" rover but evry time I see it, I think -- What an elegant design! For once, somebody really did something right and wrought very, very well.
