Monday November 26th the 8th successful Mars landing by NASA was concluded with the transmission of a photo. The Craft has a 2 year mission and unlike rovers will do it from the same place. The lander is straight and level in what appears to be a flat plain. It will transmit data to two Nano satellites that followed the craft from earth. The 7 month trip from earth is part of a commitment to learn the secrets of rocky planets such as ours . A mole ground penetrator hammer will slowly punch a hole down while measuring temperatures to depth. The lander will also listen for geo disturbances such as quakes. Mars is estimated to be 4 billion years old, a little older then the earths 3. 6 billion and is considered relevant to knowing secrets of our type of planet. There are 4 rocky planets in our solar system Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. Uranus has been demoted to a planetoid, the remaining are gas giants.
Blue Planet
Mars is imagined by some to have once been a blue planet with lakes and water bodies that were lost in time. The Earth keeps its water and atmosphere by the effect of the magnetic field on it in part. Gravity and the weight of clouds also keeps the sun from burning off the planet.
