Spirit Lander Sends Back Color Photos of Mars


Detail from the first high-resolution color "snapshot" taken by the Mars "Spirit" lander. The Signal picked this shot because it looks like there is a "pipe" sticking out of the ground.

NASA's "Spirit" Mars Exploration Rover-A touched down on the Red Planet late Saturday night and is now transmitting high resolution color photos of the landing site back to earth. For the latest breaking news and photos from the Spirit lander, go to spaceflightnow.com.
