Maas Digital MER Animation

This is gorgeous.

Maas Digital created what they call a "scientifically accurate" CGI animation to illustrate the progress of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover. It is a stunning, captivating piece of digital science.

Take a few minutes to watch the high-quality version of the animation. It's a large file and will take some time to load on slower internet connections. I assure you, though, it's absolutely worth your wait.

This Maas animation and several others are featured in a NOVA presentation about Mars on PBS. You can watch it - in its entirety - at NOVA's website.

I'll leave you with some still photos from the program.
