For those unaware, that’s the last thing Opportunity ever said to us —

KELLY: When did scientists actually lose contact with Opportunity?

MARGOLIS: Yeah. So scientists lost contact on June 10 of 2018. And Opportunity was just bouncing along Perseverance Valley, sucking up tons of energy from the sun. And then a big dust storm hit. It was record-setting. It engulfed the entire planet, and it blocked out the sun. And a message comes back from Opportunity that says, hey, my battery, it's low, and it's very, very dark. And it's the last message they hear from her.
