Mars is Now Streaming Live

Now that NASA’s Curiosity rover landed on Mars safely on Monday, you can watch live streams from NASA on the Curiosity Cam. The rover, which is 10 feet long (not including the arm), 9 feet wide, and 7 feet tall, weighs 2,000 pounds (i.e., 900 kilograms for our readers outside the U.S.).

Update:  You may no longer watch the Curiosity Cam below through UStream.  But other information is available through NASA’s website.

You can also follow the rover on Twitter (@MarsCuriosity).
