Ok, I realize we can't actually go to Mars, just yet, but the Rover is bring a little bit of it back to us. Here's an interactive panoramic view of the red planet (http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/03/4-billion-pixel-mars-panorama/) for your enjoyment. Click and drag and pan around and for fun look up and see if you can find the sun. It's pretty easy to find. All you have to do is look up. Bet you never thought you'd be looking at the sun from the surface of Mars. Pull back and you can see your host, the Mars Rover.

Note: No Martians were injured in the making of this panoramic view.

Looks like the outskirts of Vegas just before sunset.

Harold - Been to the outskirt of Vegas, it's a lot less hospitable than these picture show. :p

Great photos. But either someone has a sense of humor or there is life on Mars. Click on the arrows titled "Luc Room" or "Lus Kitchen".

I'm fascinated by the Mars Rover. So cool to see an entirely different world.

The arrows are just taking you to other 360 degree panoramas, by the company that produced the interactive view.
