Nasa's Opportunity rover replica lands at Expo 2020 Dubai

A replica of Nasa’s Mars ‘Opportunity’ rover has landed at Expo 2020 Dubai.

The mega fair’s official logistics partner, UPS, transported the replica from Washington, D.C. to Dubai for display at the USA Pavilion.

It is part of an exhibit that also displays a rare lunar sample about 3.8 billion years old. The crew of Apollo 17 astronauts brought this historic piece to Earth in 1972 on their last moon mission.
