The final picture of Opportunity robot was captured and it hurt the online community

NASA recently announced the last picture Opportunity sent before "closing your eyes".

On 12/2/2019, NASA made contact for the last time with Opportunity but still no response, and that is the last moment of the mission attached to the longest living rover robot on man. another crystal.

Last summer, a huge dust storm hit, covering the solar battery system and making Opportunity unable to gather enough energy to operate. The obscured sun causes the planet's surface temperature to become too cold, and Opportunity's circuit has stopped without being restored.

However, before officially closing their eyes, Opportunity looked at the entire legacy it left for the next generation of rover. Thanks to that, the robot camera has recorded a panoramic picture (panorama) , with a mixture of what the robot has crossed and the desert in front - the sight that it no longer has the opportunity to witness.

The robot-like picture is about to close its eyes. A beautiful ending for Opportunity, on 12/2/2019.

The Opportunity picture was taken before "closing your eyes".

It is known that Opportunity has been active for more than 15 years before being killed, but it is not actually built to live that long. Initially, the mission of the robot is to capture the image on the planet Red, then transmit the signal to the satellite and send it to Earth for NASA.

In the last days, Opportunity sent a total of 354 photos. Most of the scenes are on Mars, then the images gradually turn to black and white due to low energy, which is why at the time before "closing your eyes", the robot could not send more images.

"This panoramic picture is the last appreciation for Opportunity, with the extremely important task it has accomplished," - John Callas, an expert from NASA said.

Perseverance Valley.

"To the right is the volcanic belt of Endeavor from afar. On the left are the areas we want to examine more closely, but there is no chance."

"And far away is the Perseverance valley, unexplored place, reserved for the next generation."

According to Callas, it is certain that one day human technology will grow strong enough to discover the entire Red planet, and maybe even revive the unknown Opportunity. But until then, these robotic images will still go down in history, one of the most precious materials when people are watching other planets.
