Mars: It’s On!
This is one Sunday where whatever I typically share would not be nearly as compelling as this single image right here, fresh from Mars. Absolutely amazing.
And although it technically disqualifies this post as a Single Image Sunday, perhaps even more amazing is this:
Human beings send a robot to Mars, and take a picture as it lands with a satellite already there. This also happened in 2008, but this photo is even more clear, and still mindblowing. Via redorbit.com
