A New Horizon for Phoenix
Explanation: This flat horizon stretches across the red planet as seen by the Phoenix spacecraft after yesterday's landing on Mars. Touching down shortly after 7:30pm Eastern Time, Phoenix made the first successful soft landing on Mars, using rockets to control its final speed, since the Viking landers in 1976. Launched in August of 2007, Phoenix has now made the northernmost landing and is intended to explore the Martian arctic's potentially ice-rich soil. The lander has returned images and data initially indicating that it is in excellent shape after a nearly flawless descent. News updates will be available throughout the day.

凤凰号的新视界

说明: 这是昨天降落在火星上的凤凰号宇宙飞船所见到延伸在红色行星上的平坦地平线。在美东时间晚上 7:30 分降落之后，凤凰号利用 1976 年海盗号所使用的技术，以火箭控制末速，完成了第一次成功的软着陆。 凤凰号于 2007 年八月发射，现在已经降落在火星的最北端，将要探索这片火星北极富含冰的土壤。登陆艇已经开始传回影像和资料，显示出它在几近完美的着陆之后，地表仍然保持完整的外貌。再经过一天之后，将会有更新的讯息传回。
