Hi everyone.
Phoenix on Sol 46 have returned images of the Sun above the Northern Horizon, just before midnight. Sun 11:14 PM local time. Sun 11:16 PM local time. Sun 11:26 PM local time. Andrew Brown. -------------------- "I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world. It was extremely large with respect to the overall size of Io and crescent shaped. It seemed unbelievable that something that big had not been visible before". Linda Morabito on discovering that the Jupiter moon Io was volcanically active. Friday 9th March 1979.

Enjoy Astro0 Boy, am I behind... (so much going on hard to keep up... ain't that great ) Beautiful movie.... watched it for the first time today. One of my cats, Hansel, was in my lap. When the music started her head darted up and she watched the scene intently, then slowly moved out of my lap onto the pc table and tried to tap the moving sun image of the pc screen. So, she loved it too!!!! Thanks Astro0... definite keeper!!! Craig |
