Now my brain is in NASA mode, and I don't mean the car club.

The Mars rovers have now returned over 60,000 images of the red plannet, and January 3rd was their first anaversary on the planet. If I recall, they were only supposed to last 90 sols. There is some amazing stuff on www.NASA.gov if you haven't checked it out recenlty.

How about the first color picture of the moon..... Titan that is...

I guess from what I read, they never expected to actually get pictures after landing, much less enough battery life to get back spectral data...
