Looking closer around ThePhoenix Lander we start to notice a few objects that are crying out to be looked at closer. It could be nothing but one gets a feeling of devastion! We leave it for the public to decide as we can all see what we want to see.
But our initial study of one of the objects reveals stunning anomalies!
The images are cropped from the 360-degree view from NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander shows the
spacecraft's solar arrays, lander deck and the Martian polar landscape
beyond. The hummocky terrain has a network of troughs and very few
rocks, typical of polar surfaces here on Earth.
Phoenix's Surface Stereo Imager captured the images making up
this mosaic on the first and third martian days, or sols, of the
mission (May 26 and 28, 2008). The spacecraft is capable of taking
color, high-resolution photos, but its first priority is to scan its
surroundings with black-and-white, lower-resolution images like these.

| Heads of Agency International Space Station |  | | The heads of the International Space Station (ISS) agencies from Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia and the United States met in Tokyo, Japan, on March 11, 2010, to review ISS cooperation. From the left are Dr. Keiji Tachikawa, President of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator; Jean-Jacques Dordain, Director General of the European Space Agency; Anatoly N. Permirov, Head of the Russian Space Agency; and, Dr. Steve MacLean, President of the Canadian Space Agency. With the assembly of the ISS nearing completion and the capability to support a full-time crew of six established, they noted the outstanding opportunities now offered by the ISS for on-orbit research and for discovery including the operation and management of the world's largest international space complex. The heads of agency reaffirmed the importance of full exploitation of the station's scientific, engineering, utilization, and education potential. They noted that there are no identified technical constraints to continuing ISS operations beyond the current planning horizon, and that the partnership is currently working to certify on-orbit elements through 2028. They emphasized their common intent to undertake the necessary procedures within their respective governments to reach consensus later this year on the continuation of the ISS to the next decade.
