NASA, after landing a 1-ton, nuclear powered car on Mars, is now getting back some awesome imagery ...
First colour pic is in. Looks like a dusty day on the red planet :)
Also, the other mars hardware is checking in .. the MRO has grabbed some awesome pics of the rover, heatshield and skycrane ... find those over at Space.com ... here.
In more local news, the Persid meteor shower peaks on Sunday night NZ time, with a rate of roughly 60 meteors per hour, would be a good night to be lying on a blanket under the open sky - if of course you have a sky, forecast here is for showers :(
