Opportunity (rover) a geographic feature named "Cape York". The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had detected phyllosilicates there, and the rover analyzed the rocks with its instruments to check this sighting on the ground. This structure was analyzed in depth until summer 2013. At May 2013 the rover was heading south to a hill named "Solander Point". "Opportunity"s total odometry as of June 27, 2016 (sol 4417) was , while the dust factor is 0.725. In December 2014, NASA reported that "Opportunity" was suffering from "amnesia" events in which the rover fails to write data, e.g. telemetry information, to non-volatile memory. The hardware failure
Gliese 687 Gliese 687 Gliese 687, or GJ 687 "(Gliese–Jahreiß 687)" is a red dwarf in the constellation Draco. This is one of the closest stars to the Sun and lies at an approximate distance of less than 15 light years. Even though it is close by, it has a magnitude of about 9, so it can only be seen through a moderately sized telescope. Gliese 687 has a high proper motion, advancing 1.304 arcseconds per year across the sky. It has a net relative velocity of about 39 km/s. It is known to have a Neptune-mass planet. Gliese 687 has about
