Opportunity Thermostat Stuck on High

From Reuter's:

Mission manager Jim Erickson told reporters on Tuesday the power loss appeared to be from one of the craft's heating units that keeps turning itself on and running overnight without receiving commands from NASA to do so... While engineers do not believe the faulty thermostat will overheat the vehicle, the long-term consequences of the glitch and whether it can be fixed are not yet known, Erickson said.

Damned if a building I help take care of here on Earth didn't have exactly the same problem during the winter storm this past weekend. Weird.

It looks like Opportunity has hit the FAR more interesting location, geologically speaking.
