Final Images from NASA's Opportunity Rover

The video covers the Mars rover Opportunity's mission, which was initially planned for 90 Martian days but lasted over 5000. It highlights the rover's journey, including its exploration of Cape Tribulation and Marathon Valley, technical challenges, and scientific discoveries. The video also discusses the rover's final days during a massive dust storm and its legacy in proving Mars once had liquid water. Opportunity's mission ended after 15 years, leaving a significant impact on our understanding of Mars.
