A stirring tribute to Curiosity's journey from start to finish:
From the caption:
The Nasa rover called ‘Curiosity’ has finally arrived at Gale Crater on planet Mars after a 154 million miles journey, hurtling towards the Mars at over 13,000 mph. The main aim of Curiosity is to see whether the environment of Mars once held the ingredients of life and so Curiosity will drill into the rocks and soil and analyse samples. It is one of the most fascinating events of our recent times and a giant step forward in space exploration, enjoy :)

And if you missed the exciting footage from the JPL control room as Curiosity sent confirmation of its landing, go here. Highlights here. The two most Internet-famous people to emerge from that room are lead engineer Adam Steltzner, "an old rocker with a pompadour who got us back on Mars, and Bobak Ferdowsi, "NASA's Mohawk Man".
