NASA’s Opportunity rover, which landed on Mars in 2004, was built for a 90-day mission but far exceeded expectations, exploring the Red Planet for nearly 15 years. It traveled 28 miles (45 km), examined rocks and craters, and sent thousands of images that reshaped our understanding of Mars. The mission ended in 2018 when a massive dust storm blocked sunlight from its solar panels, cutting off communication. After more than a thousand failed attempts to reconnect, NASA declared the mission over i

Mars is full of layered rocks shaped by wind, dust storms, and ancient geological activity over billions of years. Lighting, shadows, and erosion can turn ordinary rocks into extraordinary illusions. #Mars #fblitestyle #MarsMystery #SpaceX #NASA | Mars journey
