I found this beautiful and amazing picture that is truly "out of this
world" (you guessed it right, it's from Mars), which I like to share with you.
It is the picture of Phoenix Mars Lander suspended from its parachute
during its successful landing on Mars Sunday evening, May 25.
The image is from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (which was orbiting Mars at the time), taken
with its telescopic camera.
This photo marks the first time ever one spacecraft has photographed
another one in the act of landing on Mars.
