New Pictures of Mars Can Be Seen on Internet
NASA has begun posting new pictures of the surface of Mars on the Internet. The photographs are taken by a visible-light camera called Themis aboard the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, which was launched last April and arrived at Mars in October. The images, posted at themis.asu.edu/latest.html, show strips of the Martian surface 22 kilometers wide at a resolution of 18 meters. The pictures are posted at 7 a.m. PST Mondays through Fridays.
