It said something -- or someone -- had regularly cleaned layers of dust from the solar panels of the Mars Opportunity vehicle while it was closed down during the Martian night.
Typical bad reporting by Rooters.
I suppose the unsigned reporter thinks that a homeless Martian assauted the Opportunity rover with a squeegy and spray bottle full of Windex? "What a maroon." :)

Hey shaggy !
I told you it would work. They haven't even noticed how much power we're siphoning off to run our Martian Roller Disco !
Just remember...don't go anywhere near those cameras with your squeegie and Windex.
FReepmail me back after you re-enter our atmosphere...Muttly out.

You are obviously not keeping up with the latest.
The newest line of black helicopters to be distributed to the worthy among us have deep space capability including ultra warp drive. It only takes a matter of minutes to get there, clean the dust off and return in time to rinse the coffee cup and get back to work.

An even bigger mystery: a carwash each night...but no rain the next day.

You mean a former squeegie guy from NYC is not up there cleaning up the space vehicle?

It said something -- or someone --I knew that those rovers were too good to be true. Now we know that they sent someone up there along with the rovers to keep them running. You can never trust a government operation.
