The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. –Albert Einstein

It goes without saying that Einstein was brilliant, but I think his brilliance showed through more because of the wonder he recognized in our universe than in his ability to do complex math. I think it was this sense of wonder at our mysterious nature that lead Einstein to his greatest discoveries.

How would your life change if you viewed the world through that sort of lens?

You may have seen lower-res versions in your newspapers, but the full res shows much more. Note the dust devil whirling in the distance!

There is lots more info on this amazingly long-lived mission, and more photos at http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html
