Perseverance

2,000+sols in Jezero Crater

Landed 18 February 2021Today

Curiosity

5,000+sols in Gale Crater

Landed 6 August 2012Today

A sol is one day on Mars. Each one has its own roll of film.

Sols are counted from the day a rover landed, and each lasts about 24 hours and 40 minutes. The extension shows the matching date on Earth beside every sol.

  1. Choose a rover

    Perseverance in Jezero Crater or Curiosity in Gale Crater. Both are still driving and still sending pictures.

  2. Move through the mission

    Open the newest sol, step a day earlier or later, drag the slider back to landing day, or jump to a random sol.

  3. Look closer

    Filter by camera, open any frame full screen, step through with the arrow keys, and save the ones you want to keep.

The cameras you will see

These are unprocessed frames, exactly as the rovers sent them. Navigation and hazard cameras are mostly black and white; the science cameras shoot in colour.

New in version 2.0

The service that version 1.0 relied on was retired in October 2025. Version 2.0 reads NASA's own raw-image feeds directly, so it no longer depends on a third party or an API key.

  • Photos load again, straight from NASA
  • Perseverance added alongside Curiosity
  • A slider across the whole mission
  • Earlier, later, latest and random sol
  • Filter by camera
  • Full-screen viewer with arrow keys
  • Save photos to come back to
  • Clear messages when a sol has no photos

Nothing about you is collected

There is no account, no analytics and no advertising. The extension only talks to NASA's servers to load the photo lists and the photos, and your saved photos stay in your browser.
