Curiosity At One (Earth) Year

A year ago this weekend, after successfully negotiating seven minutes of terror going from orbit to the surface, NASA's Curiosity rover landed on Mars.

Since then, Curiosity has been a huge success.  It has already accomplished a major part of its mission, providing data strongly suggesting that early Mars could have supported life.  Curiosity is now on its way to its main science objective, Mount Sharp, where scientists hope to learn even more about early Mars.
