NASA's Curiosity rover has just passed a new milestone yesterday. It has been exploring the Red Planet for two thousand Martian days, or sols (about 2054 Earth days).
Launched November 26, 2011, the rover landed August 6, 2012 on Aeolis Palus in the Gale Crater. In December 2012, Curiosity's two year mission was extended indefinitely. So far, it has traveled over 11 miles since it began its exploration.
