This blog is an outlet for my personal thoughts and views. It is generally concerned with life, science, nature and the world around us. It will often cover items about surfing, or should that be especially about surfing. There may also be some philosophical discourse. There will not be any politics and very little religion. I must point out all views expressed are my own and are not intended to offend anyone, or be taken as proven facts - there are times when I have been proven to be incorrect or misguided. While I try to be accurate, I am human and will make mistakes, so please be understanding.

still not curious?


I thought it would be good to get an update on where the rover has been in the last (almost) year.

Curiosity Rover's Location for Sol 345

This map shows the route driven by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity through the 345 Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission on Mars (July 26, 2013).

Numbering of the dots along the line indicate the sol number of each drive. North is up. The scale bar is 200 meters (656 feet). From Sol 344 to Sol 345, Curiosity had driven a straight line distance of about 202.95 feet (61.86 meters).
