NASA Mars Curiosity Fires Laser 100X To Create Soil Indent - Time-Lapse Video


Laser shots that harness a million watts of power for about five one-billionths of a second were fired by MSL's ChemCam instrument into a soil target named 'Sutton Inlier'. 

Sixteen frames from the 20 minutes experiment are time-lapsed/looped.
