Now that the University of Arizona has taken over the ground mission of the Phoenix Mars Lander, they have posted the first few images from the ground of the northern pole of Mars! You can read my live blogging of the Phoenix Mars Lander touching down for additional information and links.

Just finished my third week of teaching and things are going extremely well!!
I got rid of the shoutbox (for now) because it wasn't working right. Hopefully I will get that fixed soon. You may have noticed that I have been changing things around a bit. Hopefully this theme looks good and works well. If you notice any bugs or things that need to be fixed or just look better, just let me know (or leave a comment)! The header images (there are 34 in rotation right now!) are pictures that I have taken over the last few years.

Oh we’ve been tracking!! Listened from the other room as Gordon watched the NASA coverage…my favourite was the countdown to touchdown and all the cheering in the background!
Exciting events!

I wonder why they called it Phoenix - they already used that name for a Lunar Mission. Should have named it after the Angel of the Garden, since we will likely engineer Mars to be the new Garden of Eden. Exciting, though.
