4,000 glorious sols

When I landed on Mars in 2012, I set off to find out if the planet was habitable to ancient microscopic life. After completing my prime mission in 2014, I’m still going strong at 4,000 sols on the Red Planet!

And I’m not done yet:

The mission team is making sure the robotic scientist is staying strong, despite wear and tear from its 11-year journey.

I cannot belive that it is 4,000 Sols on Mars for Curiosity, how time fly's.

Scientists were stunned on May 30 when a rock that NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover drove over cracked open to reveal something never seen before on the Red Planet: yellow sulfur crystals.
