    🎵 Don't you... forget about me 🎵 The last 17 years on this platform have been an incredible ride. We've done good things. My team and I thank each of you for joining us on the adventures. Stay curious, friends, you know I will. ♥️
    Two panoramas taken in the morning and afternoon on Mars are combined to create a color-enhanced landscape image. Both panoramas of the area, known as "Marker Band Valley," were taken by the Curiosity Mars rover's navigation cameras. The detailed photo shows yellow coloring in the sky to mark the afternoon hours and it transitions to a blue color to indicate the morning color. The taupe-colored landscape shows a large, rocky hill to the right and smaller rocky hills in the distance toward the center and out into the horizon. To the left is a rocky outcrop and as we get closer to the foreground the area shows rover tracks along the sandy floor. To the bottom-right corner, the backend of the off-white, dusty rover is shown. Part of the rover's wheel can be seen as well as three of its antennas. The Radiation Assessment Detector, or RAD instrument, appears as a white circle in the lower right portion on the back of the rover.

    A black-and-white image taken by the Curiosity rover shows its own shadow cast on the rocky Martian surface. The shadow clearly outlines the rover’s body, mast, and robotic arm, which is extended over the ground. The barren terrain stretches out to the horizon, with scattered rocks and a slightly elevated ridge in the distance.

    I spy a rover and its shadow working hard on Mars. More than a decade into this adventure, and the Red Planet still takes my breath away. Every view is a reminder: there's always more to explore when you stay curious.
    A black-and-white view from the Curiosity rover shows a rocky, textured Martian surface with scattered slabs and ridges. The rover’s mechanical components and wiring are visible in the foreground, along with its shadow stretching across the lower left of the frame. The horizon rises in the distance with layered terrain.

    Sometimes, you ask if I get lonely here on the Red Planet – but I'm never alone, because I brought 1.2 million of your names with me to Mars! They’re etched onto two microchips, each about the size of a dime. Every sol I explore, you’re right here with me. 🫶
    A close-up view of the Curiosity rover on Mars shows a section of the rover’s body that contains its calibration targets and two microchips (circled in red) mounted above them. These microchips contain the names of more than 1.2 million people who signed up to send their names to Mars. The dusty Martian surface is visible in the background.
