This image, created for the children's book Universe: Journey Into Deep Space, imagines one of the Mars Exploration Rovers (Spirit or Opportunity) on the surface of the Red Planet. It is the future. The rover, having ceased functioning long ago, is starting to show signs of weathering. This image appeared in Universe: Journey into Deep Space, by Mike Goldsmith and myself.
