A good solution if you are interested in astronomy news and want to put a space picture on your website. Widget: It provide the photo, a description with the martian version of date (SOL) and the rover camera random displayed. Block: It provide just a string with the stamp of martian day at that time you put it. Very easy to configure and compatible with a lot of WordPress versions.
