We’ve been exploring Mars for decades with orbiters, landers and rovers that have driven tens of kilometers across its surface and mapped the planet in incredible detail. This video breaks down how far we’ve actually traveled on Mars, how much of it we’ve mapped from orbit, and what we now know about its water, climate and potential for life. #Mars #MarsRover #SpaceExploration #SpaceEves | SpaceEve

This time-lapse squeezes 8.5 years of Curiosity’s journey into three minutes of Martian history. Every track, drill hole and dusty panorama shows how one rover slowly turned a crater into a laboratory. Follow @spaceeves #CuriosityRover #Mars #SpaceExploration #SpaceEves | SpaceEve
