It looks like the Mars PhoenixLander has landed and it was smoother than expected. In fact, NASA is claiming it's their smoothest landing to date! Well enough of me babbling. Take a look at the red planet. These are actual photos taken from the Lander! The Lander's north-pole location is measured at -106 degrees Fahrenheit and chock-full of life-preserving ice. Nice 'n chilly. Phoenix will hang around Mars for 90 days, sniffing soil and looking for Martian chicks, haha j/k. Now that Mars Oddyssey -- one of its main communication uplinks -- has passed over the lander, we have a couple of the first pictures available to the general public!
