Count to ten thousand! (Part 1)

Images such as this one from the Mars Orbiter Camera on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor are helping scientists and engineers decide the best path for NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity as it approaches "Victoria Crater."

A blue dot indicates “Cape Verde” and a red dot “Cabo
Frio.” These two points mark the extent of the crater visible from the
rover’s position on its 945th Martian day, or sol (Sept. 20, 2006), a
location it had reached two sols earlier and from which much of this
monster depression was still out of sight. The green annotations
indicate “Duck Bay,” a location expected to allow a view to the other
side of the crater. A dune, or ripple, is to the left of the crater,
right in front of the green dot location. This is where the team
initially talked about sending Opportunity for the rover’s first view
down into the crater. After further consideration, the team opted for a
drive to the right of that ripple (south of the green dot) near the rim.

The yellow lines that surround and intersect Victoria
Crater are used to measure the crater and the distance to the far
“bays.” North is up. Victoria Crater is about 800 meters (half a mile)
in diameter.

Caenorhabditis elegans is a microscopic (~1 mm) nematode (roundworm) that normally lives in soil.
It has become one of the “model” organisms in biology because:
It is a true animal with at least rudiments of the physiological systems — feeding, nervous, muscle, reproductive — found in “higher” animals like mice and humans.
But it is so small that large numbers can be raised in petri dishes (where it is fed E. coli — another model organism).
It reproduces rapidly.
It is transparent so that every cell in the living animal can be seen under the microscope from the fertilized egg to the 556 cells of the newly-hatched worm and, later,
the 959 somatic cells, and a variable number of germ cells, of the adult worm.
It can be easily transformed with transgenes — DNA injected into the animal.
It can also be treated with antisense RNA.
Before it dies (after 2–3 weeks), it shows signs of aging and thus may provide general clues as to the aging process.
