Mars from The Planets by Holst

These pictures are taken from Nasa's web page.

The latest MARS Pathfinder mission status can be found at Nasa's Mars Pathfinder mission news & information page.

Additional information can be found on the Mars Pathfinder Mission page or the Mars Pathfinder Mission - Home Page (SGI mirror).

A book about how the Mar's pathfinder mission can apply to industry can be found here. This site is geared more towards managers than astronomers. There's also some pictures showing some of the pre-flight work and a good quiz on Mars.

I must add a plug for the Mars series of science fiction books by Kim Stanley Robinson titled Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. These books make up an excellent trilogy detailing life on Mars and terraforming the red planet in the not too distant future.

Last but not least, here are links to Nasa's Astronomy Picture of the Day and the NASA Homepage.
