The #Curiosity rover has been on Mars for more than 4000 sols, and has seen 6 Earth solar conjunctions in the 11+ Earth years of its life on the Red planet. It's still going strong, as is its team, who produce wonderfully detailed reports on what the veteran rover has been or plans to be working on.

Currently assigned target names, like Cobra Turret, Fang Turret, Gorge of Despair, Brittle Bush, come from the area near Bishop, CA.
