Neat Pictures from Mars and the Moon

One of my favorite blogs is written by Emily Lakadawalla for the Planetary Society. I was looking at some of her old material and found some pictures that I had never seen and I thought I would share with my readers. Figure 1 is a photograph of the Spirit rover taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter using the HiRISE camera. This is just amazing.

While reading Emily's blog, I got to wondering if there were any photographs of the landing sites on the Moon. A quick Google search that NASA has done its usual good job of making some great images available. Figure 2 shows the Apollo 11 landing site.

Figure 3 shows the Apollo 14 landing site.

These pictures have been around for awhile, but they were new to me! I think they are great.
