Περιγραφή

This plugin adds a widget to display the NASA Mars Curiosity rover photos and a static block to display current sol.
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.

Easy install and setup, appears in Available Widgets to place wherever. Widget thumbnail includes short descriptive caption like: “Sol: 2306 (31/01/2019) Front Hazard Avoidance Camera”. Nice replacement for outdated NASA image of the day plugin.
