0 Weather Report form Mars for 24.08.12
It's been a chilly couple of weeks for the Mars Curiosity rover, as it takes stock of its surroundings, and tests its various systems.
Temperature reports from its Rover Environmental Monitoring Station have been between -2 degrees Celsius during the day, down to -75 degrees Celsius at night. Those kinds of daytime temperatures are nothing unusual for Canadians, but the lowest temperature ever recorded here was in Snag, Yukon, at -63 degrees C, in 1947. Toronto had a record low of -33 degrees C back in the late 1800s, Vancouver has been down to around -15 degrees C, and Montreal reached near -38 degrees C in 1957.
So, -75 degrees C might be a little bit cold for us. Maybe we'd need a blanket, or some earmuffs.
