Click here to visit Explorer Island in Second Life which is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's official site in SL, where there's a large installation for JPL's Martian efforts, including this pictured probe which resembles the Curiosity rover that just successfully touched down on Mars. Unless I missed an update, Explorer Island doesn't seem to have been updated in the last few years, but it still exists in-world, and has some pretty good (if pre-mesh) virtual artifacts of JPL's efforts in Mars... and on Second Life.
If you know of any current SL events and other content based around Curiosity's active investigation in Mars, please post in Comments. I'm also asking the scientists and engineers who've done previous aerospace projects in SL, so will add updates as they come in.
I remember going to the Mars rovers exibit in SL, this one looks good too.
