Y’all look at this set of Napoleonic playing cards I found by Philipp Otto Runge, early 19th century.

this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”.
