Southwest of Bonneville Crater, near the lower-left corner of this view, is the three-petal lander platform that NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit drove off. 


Spirit left the landing site in January 2004 and spent most of its six-year working life in a range of hills roughly 3.2 kilometers to the east. The rover completed its planned mission and went on to function effectively over twenty times longer than NASA planners expected. The rover also logged 7.73 kilometers of driving instead of the planned 600 meters.

2021-02-28 14:07:19 What will happen to the Milky Way in the future?

Unfortunately, our home galaxy won’t last forever. We are currently moving towards our neighbor galaxy, Andromeda, at a speed of 400,000 km/h. In about 4 billion years Milky Way will crash into it. Scientists always predicted Andromeda to devour our galaxy, since Andromeda is more massive. However, recent calculations showed that Andromeda’s size is equal to about 800 billion suns, which is close to our galaxy’s size. Accordingly, it is not yet clear which galaxy will stay after the collision.

2021-02-25 19:39:11 Temperatures on the moon are extreme, ranging from boiling hot to freezing cold. When sunlight hits the moon's surface, the temperature can reach 127 C. When the sun goes down, temperatures can dip to minus -173 C.

Daytime on one side of the Moon lasts about 13,5 days, followed by the 13.5 nights of darkness.

The Moon tilts on its axis about 1.54 degrees. To compare, Earth's axis is tilted 23.44 degrees. This means the moon does not have seasons like our planet does. However, because of the existing tilt, there are places at the lunar poles that never see daylight.

The moon has been drifting away from Earth for 4.5 billion years. While the speed of its retreat has varied over time, the Moon is now moving away from Earth at a rate of 3.8 centimetres per year.

How many of these facts were new to you?
