Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Mars is Far
The Midnight Sun on Mars is a newly released image from the Mars Phoenix mission. "This mosaic documents the midnight sun during several days of the mission. This pan captures the polar nature of the Phoenix mission in its similarity to time lapse pictures taken above the Arctic Circle on Earth."
To me the most interesting thing is just how small the sun looks from Mars. What a difference another 48 million miles makes.
