It’s a remarkable innovation that was spearheaded by scientists at Caltech, who asked the head of CBC, Michael Ort, if they could use dark fibers for their experiments after the Ridgecrest earthquake a few years back.

A nice drive of ~44 meters for Curiosity on Sol 3880 brings the rover a little closer to a cluster of impact craters. Post drive images, a map and the drive data is attached.

Two images of one of Curiosity Rover's wheels acquired 13 months apart. These show that the wheel wear has slowed dramatically.

How LIGO Discovered Gravity Waves
LIGO is back online with upgrades. And it's being enhanced by a network of pulsars.

No holiday for Perseverance Rover in Jezero crater
Drive on Sol 843 to site 41/0, July 4th 2023.
Looks like they're setting up for a little contact science (L-NavCam)

Six Years ago Curiosity Mars Rover checked its wheels. Here's one of the hand-lens images, it just happened to capture the Murray Buttes in the background. The rover is scheduled to have another wheel check soon.
Image processed, rotated and cropped.

Gravity Waves Rock The Galaxy
Scientists report evidence that the whole universe around us is awash in the quiet background vibration of gravitational waves.

Space solar power could be the future of renewable energy. It involves capturing sunlight in orbit and beaming it down to Earth. A new test by Caltech has achieved a record-breaking efficiency of 85%.

Guy found and resurrected an HP 9836C https://youtu.be/vCU4xbHFb58 ; the #caltech undergrad CS lab through the end of the 80’s was a dozen or so of these “chipmunks” running deeply customized software. Other labs for higher level classes used them for home-built VLSI (and analog VLSI!) packages for even longer. Deeply funky system, still kinda wish I had the scroll wheel, where I learned to program in Pascal and I will love this machine forever. #retrocomputing

Mars Guy - Episode 114:
Sending a rover to Mars to do geologic fieldwork inevitably leads to frustration. Collecting a rock sample is one of the simplest things a geologist does on Earth. But a second attempt last week shows how hard it is to do on Mars.
