Site of the Day for Wednesday, February 25, 2004
Journey to Mars!
From the Exploratorium comes this newly created site to chronicle the
latest information about Mars and the Mars probes. Gentle Subscribers who
have been meaning to get up to speed about the Mars exploration project
will find a wealth of riveting information at the site.
"Spirit and Opportunity, the Mars Exploration Rovers, have successfully
landed on Mars! For the latest information about their progress, and to see
what should be the greatest images of Mars ever taken, the Exploratorium is
the place to be. ... We=92ll receive new images daily from the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which we=92ll display and explain, and we=92ll
have regular video conferences with JPL. A series of Webcasts and public
programs will fill you in on everything from the history of Mars to the
latest robotic technology to Mars in pop culture." - from the website
The site unveils spectacular images from Mars along with special features
on background information under the tantalizing headings of "In Search of
Martians" and "Martian Snowflakes". The sophisticated technology of the
Rover modules is lucidly explained with the help of excellent photos of the
equipment while the "Goodies" section offers whimsical screensavers and
postcards. Additional external links to further Mars information are
included as well.
