Cumbrian Sky

Wow.. look at that... after all the months and weeks of waiting, we're now just 7 days away from the landing of Phoenix on Mars. It's going to be a long, long week, ticking off each day as it passes, but this time next week we'll be just a dozen or so hours away from those gut-wrenchingly frightening "7 minutes of terror" as Phoenix plummets through Mars' atmosphere and attempts its landing in the martian arctic. We'll be talking a lot about Phoenix during the next week, so keep checking back here for regular updates, and tips for how you can make the most out of this amazing event...
