Tens of millions of miles from home, NASA's Curiosity rover has shared what it's grateful for this Thanksgiving
It’s not just people who are sharing what they’re grateful for during Thanksgiving today. Mars rovers are, too.
Recommended Videos Accompanying the post is a remarkably detailed view of the rover’s rocky surroundings on the distant planet. One of Curiosity’s many mission goals is to assess Mars’ habitability by determining whether the planet could once have supported microbial life. It’s also been working to characterize the martian climate and geology, and gather data that may be useful for future human exploration of Mars, which could begin in the coming decades.
Curiosity’s high-resolution cameras have also provided visual evidence of an ancient streambed, indicating that liquid water once flowed on the martian surface.
