The Planet Solar

It's been two years since we last heard of the 98-foot-long solar-powered boat, which at the time was gearing up for its big journey around the world.

Some 19 months and 37,286 miles after setting sail from Monaco, the MS Turanor PlanetSolar has finally made it home.

The PlanetSolar broke four Guinness world records along the way, including the all-important "first circumnavigation by solar-powered boat," and it made stops on six continents to promote solar energy.

The team also fended off Somalian pirates in the process, too. Now that it has a moment to catch its breath and soak up some rays at leisure, the MS Turanor could become any number of things - from the world's largest solar battery to a "green luxury yacht."
