Phoenix has landed on mars!
The Phoenix landed on Mars today. That is good news. Nasa's site lists four main goals for Phoenix:
--Determine whether Life ever arose on Mars --Characterize the Climate of Mars --Characterize the Geology of Mars --Prepare for Human Exploration Follow the mission here. Here is one of the first images from Phoenix showing the Martian terrain and horizon. http://www.planetary.org/image/phoenix_lg_309.jpg More images here. Not the eerily "340" shaped UFO at the top. Also, note that they already have what appears to be a Starbuck's on Mars: http://www.badastronomy.com/pix/babl...orizonbump.jpg |

He made a thread about his too, just not many people replied and it got lost in unresponded threads.

It's good to see those pics. Thanks for posting them!
I watched the landing on the Science channel last night. It was pretty intense, but I was dissappointed to hear I had to wait 2 hours to see pictures sent back. |
Woot Woot!! The terrain isn't what I had expected. I expected it to be way more hilly, don't know why. It would be awesome if it got a snapshot of a skull.
|
They purposely landed it in a relatively boring spot hoping to avoid any mishaps.
|
Great update, m....; I'm excited to see the second half of the mission, which will be the exploration obviously...
|
This is excellent.
|
I want to see some sort of creature on the surface of Mars!
|
|
Is that top right one a self portrate by a robot?

I wonder if the ice on Mars is so frozen over that you can't slip on it.
