News from NASA

OK, this is good stuff. First and very timely - there will be a solar eclipse tomorrow morning. It will appear full only in very northern places, like Greenland. It's not clear to me if it will be visible as a partial as far south as Chicago or not. Here's the site. (Admittedly, I found this out from my friend's blog - thanks, P.)

Secondly, water has been discovered and tested by the Phoenix rover on Mars.

While we're on the subject of NASA, here's one of my all time favorite pictures: Earth at Night.
