We’re still about a year away from the launch of the Mars 2020 mission, but NASA’s shiny new rover is rapidly taking shape already. The rover, which is far more advanced than any machine NASA has ever sent to the Red Planet, just received what NASA calls a “Super Instrument” in the form of an all-in-one camera, laser, and spectrometer unit.

The tool, called SuperCam, is the natural evolution of the ChemCam installed on the Curiosity rover which is currently in use on Mars.

A total solar eclipse graces a small section of planet Earth yesterday afternoon. Not many people got to see it in person, but thanks to a partnership between NASA and the San Francisco-based Exploratorium, plenty of science fans got to enjoy it via live stream.

If you missed that live stream, well, that’s a shame because nobody bothered to actually record it. It’s gone forever. Kidding! NASA actually took the time to condense the most important part down to a five-minute time-lapse that you can now enjoy.

Walking into a portal will teleport you to whichever portal it’s connected to elsewhere in the mall.
