Guide to Space - What Has The Curiosity Rover Discovered? A Collaboration With Joe Scott

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxIPNXF6Kxc


From Feb 20, 2018.


All Hail Curiosity!


Consider the fact that right now, there’s an SUV-sized rover
crawling around the surface of Mars, zapping rocks with its
laser, scooping and sampling material, and generally giving us
the best view we’ve ever seen from the surface of the Red Planet.


 


NASA’s Curiosity Rover has been on the surface of Mars since
2012, following the story of water. When did it first show up on
Mars, and was it there long enough to support the biology of
life?


 


In its 5 years and counting of exploration, Curiosity has pushed
our understanding of the Red Planet forward, and paved the way
for the next generation of gigantic, nuclear powered rovers
headed to Mars to search for life itself.
