NASA's Curiosity Rover has successfully completed four thousand days on Mars conducting exciting science. The rover first landed on Mars’ Gale Crater on August 5, 2012 to study whether ancient Mars had the conditions to support microbial life. The car-sized rover has been gradually ascending the base of 5-kilometre-tall Mount Sharp, whose layers formed in different periods of Martian history and offer a record of how the planet's climate changed over time.
