One last mention of the Pheonix landing on Mars. Using the high-resolution HiRise camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, NASA scientists have acquired this stunning shot of the Pheonix lander parachuting down onto the martian surface. As the lander uses the sparse atmosphere of Mars to slow down, the pod, drogue and cabling are clearly displayed in this chance satellite footage. Truly an astounding image.
Still no word on the Polar Bear object ...
