I was browsing the Mars Exploration Rover Mission Website and took a look at the latest Flight Director’s Update video entitled “Jan 17: It’s the fourth anniversary of the Mars Exploration Rovers.”
It’s a nicely produced little piece that is more of an overview of the mission (for those of you that have been living under a rock) than a true update. Nonetheless I though it was interesting.

Greetings, I realize it has been some time… even longer since I’ve had the scope out (almost 2 years!). Hopefully this winter I’ll get to break in the new ETX125.
At any rate, Comet 17P/Holmes got me outside the other night with my tripod mounted Canon EOS 300D. These were the best two of about 20.

Via a somewhat convoluted surfing route I stumbled across this cool time-lapse movie of the Moon coming out of the recent eclipse and setting at dawn over San Francisco!
Just thought I’d share. Anyone else find “accidental imagings” of the event?

Wow. I haven’t blogged in a while but this caught my eye and I don’t see anyone has picked it up yet.
NASA says it has found wires which may have been deliberately cut on computers bound for the international space station.
