Phoenix Makes a Grand Entrance

On the 25th of May 2008 NASA’s Mars Recon Orbiter took a picture of NASA’s Mars Phoenix Lander parachuting down to Mars. The Phoenix Lander will collect and analyze samples of Martian ice to determine if life has ever existed on Mars. We should start hearing results in the next 2 to 3 weeks.
