Opportunity Celebrates 2 "Mars Years" on the Red Planet

Yesterday (Oct. 30th) marked the 2 year anniversary of the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's exploration mission. NASA recently gave Opportunity a 5th mission extension and is currently exploring the Victoria Crater. It is the biggest crater ever explored on Mars at ground level. NASA is not sure whether Opportunity will ever make it back out of this crater.

Happy birthday Opportunity:
