Phoenix 'Sol 0' images in context
In this mosaic, Doug Ellison has combined the images returned by Phoenix immediately after its landing (outlined in red) with a lander self-portrait taken by Phoenix during its pre-launch testing.

I'm getting a slow start to the morning, but will be up at JPL for the press briefing currently scheduled for 11 am my time (18:00 UTC). I will probably show up in the Ustream channel off and on this morning as well. Stay tuned!
