we can see it but it's still silent...

Silent Opportunity Mars Rover Spotted from Space (Photo)

The dust has cleared enough for NASA's Mars rover Opportunity to be spotted from space.

On Thursday (Sept. 20), the agency's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) snapped a photo of the silent, stationary Opportunity in Perseverance Valley, on the rim of the Red Planet's 14-mile-wide (22 kilometers) Endeavour Crater.

"This image was produced from about 166 miles (267 km) above the Martian surface," NASA officials wrote in a description of the image, which was released today (Sept. 25). "The white box marks a 154-foot-wide (47-meter-wide) area centered on the rover."

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
