That is a wow moment alright though I have one complaint and that's to the guy / girl who left their dinner plate on the freaking top of the rover. Come on guys, what's the aliens to think of mankind.

Just scroll to directly beneath you and there you'll see it clear as day. Good china plate too I reckon.

Hold on, it wasn't us? Then who exactly did it

Doing doughnuts on Mars already. Bloody boy racers those NASA lads!

That's the older, smaller, solar powered Opportunity rover.
You can see its dust covered solar panels as it continued to soldier on.

Curiosity on the other hand has a nuclear battery and 17 cameras, but is still developing it's eye for a good image
