Thanks Gary, interesting news and a very good selfie for an autonomous lander, so far away.:)

Although when we were driving through the stunning Glencoe Pass and took the Glen Etive Road, the scenery was a wee bit different.;)

Cheers

Cool!
I was hoping for a moment might be possible to spot Matt Damon in the background, but alas :D

Yep very cool. Cooking up beakers of stuff for sniffing remotely on Mars. With images. Not sure about the similes in the copy but cool none the less. The bone particles of long dead Martian crack heads maybe.

Curiosity rover celebrates 3,000 days on Mars with extreme panorama. Curiosity is currently heading toward a region of the crater known as the "sulfate-bearing unit." Long-lived Curiosity will continue to pursue its mission to study the ancient environmental conditions on the red planet when Perseverance rover arrives in February.
