Some hawk-eyed folks recently spotted a decidedly rat-like critter in a photo taken in September last year by the Curiosity Rover. It’s really a rock. I guess it would make a pretty good pet rock. Some fans have set up a Twitter account for it with the appropriately dire warning ‘People of Earth. You found me. Prepare for invasion’ as its profile. OK, guess I know what’s going into the basket next time I’m at the supermarket: rock cheese.

In honor of its Opportunity rover which has been doing some intensive Mars sightseeing for close to a decade, NASA came up with a infographic chart that showed the distances that have been embarked on by its other vehicles on terrains out there in space. The Opportunity has roved 35.760 kilometers around the rim of Mars’ Endeavour crater, well ahead of the Apollo 17 moon buggy’s 35.744 kilometers. Never mind that the Curiosity rover has managed just less than a kilometer so far since it landed in August; it has at least 14 years in its nuclear batteries to catch up.

Google Earth has taken things to new heights. Now mere earthlings can view a 3D Google Moon and Google Mars.

You can get a tour with narration by Bill Nye the Science Guy.

We woke up the other day to the shocking news that the Chinese were thinking of harvesting vegetables from Mars. Hey, who knows, saying stuff like “Women are from Venus, vegetables are from Mars” might be commonplace one day. In the meantime, no other picture sums up our horror better than this one we found by digital artist Till Nowak orbiting on the Framebox site.
