Explanation:
What if you saw your shadow on Mars and it wasn't human? Then you might be the Opportunity rover exploring Mars. Opportunity explored the Red Planet from 2004 to 2018, finding evidence of ancient water, and sending breathtaking images across the inner Solar System. Pictured here in 2004, Opportunity looks opposite the Sun into Endurance Crater and sees its own shadow. Two wheels are visible on the lower left and right, while the floor and walls of the unusual crater are visible in the background. Caught in a dust storm in 2018, Opportunity stopped responding, and NASA stopped trying to contact it in 2019 and declared the ground-breaking mission, originally planned for only 92 days, complete.

Wie die Forschung auf der Internationalen Raumstation den Weg zum Mond ebnet

"Die Menschheit will zurück zum Mond. In diesem Jahr startet mit Artemis II der nächste bemannte Flug. Und der wäre – so wie er jetzt geplant ist – nicht möglich ohne die Forschung auf der ISS."

Weltraum-WC, Blutproben, Feuerlöscher: Ohne ISS kein Flug zum Mond

Die Menschheit will zurück zum Mond. In diesem Jahr startet mit Artemis II der nächste bemannte Flug. Und der wäre – so wie er jetzt geplant ist – nicht möglich ohne die Forschung auf der ISS.

"The Moon passed directly between the Sun and Earth on 17 February 2026, creating an annular solar eclipse. Because the Moon was at a more distant point along its elliptical orbit around Earth, it didn't entirely cover the Sun and left a ‘ring of fire’.

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Proba-2 satellite captured this ring from its viewpoint in space."
