Phoenix Lands on Mars

Mars Craft Succeeds in Soft Landing. "The spacecraft Phoenix landed safely on Mars yesterday, making a hazardous soft landing on the planet's far north with all its scientific systems apparently intact and ready to begin an intensive new search for life beyond Earth."

The mission site is here, but it's been pretty slow, overwhelmed with traffic. Here's a photo of Mars taken by Phoenix after landing.
