The Opportunity Rover landed on Mars in January 2004, and was expected to last three months.

It looks like NASA got more than they expected.

Here are the latest photos released by NASA, taken from Opportunity's winter hideout, Greeley Haven, where technicians believe it will have the best chance of surviving the Martian winter. 

They look like they were taken by someone sitting right on top of the rover, and give one the impression of being exactly there on the surface. I feel like I could reach down and pick up a pebble from the ground ( or draw a smiley face in the dirt ). Truly amazing.
