I'd like to take some time to congradulate NASA for safely landing Pheonix on Mars. I'm really looking forward to the pictures and the data they return from this mission. Congrats on a job well done. I guess they can all breath again now that they are safely on the surface. Mars has a nasty habit of eating half the satellites we send there. </p><p>I do have one question about the image of the weather over the poles of Mars. Are those straight lines in the weather images an artifact of the camera in some way? </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all kinds. - Kristian Birkeland </div>
