.We are back ... practically, anyways. Today's auto parking place is actually extremely near where our experts stationed on sol 4253, and also in a place near some of the previous call scientific research targets "Exploration Pinnacle." You may review in this article that a lot of the group, this blog owner featured, resided in Pasadena for our group conference when our experts were last in this field. That was July and also Curiosity will transform 12 on Mars. Returning is an incredibly uncommon celebration and also is constantly considered carefully.

At other times it was actually very carefully planned, like the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can view within this video coming from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015.
