Voyager 1 has entered interstellar space. The NASA spacecraft, which rose from Earth on a September morning 36 years ago, has traveled farther than anyone, or anything, in history. Now Voyager 1 is in the space between the stars.

Curiosity, un an sur Mars : l'heure du bilan

Quel bilan tirer de la mission de Curiosity, après un an passé sur Mars ? Certes, plusieurs premières ont été réalisées. Ainsi du forage puis de l’analyse de roches par ChemCam et Sam, et de la mesure de la tolérance aux radiations. Or, d’autres questions restent en suspens : le rover cherche encore des molécules organiques attestant d’une vie passée, et le mont Sharp n’a pas livré son histoire. Échec ? Plutôt une question de temps selon les scientifiques.

Parcours de Curiosity depuis son atterrissage, le 6 août 2012, au 1er août 2013 !
